Characteristics and outcomes associated with sarcomere mutations in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited heart disease that can lead to sudden cardiac death. Impact of genetic testing for the prognosis and treatment of patients with HCM needs to be improved. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the characteristics and outcomes associated with sarcomere genotypes in index patients with HCM.
