Abstract:
We report the case of identical twin sisters, both with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and both found to have similar echocardiographic appearances in the form of asymmetric septal hypertrophy. This is unusual, in that published reports commonly describe the heterogeneous expression of this condition in twins.
