[Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy]

Two genetically associated observations of the familial cardiomyopathy in a 34-year-old father and 2-day-old son are described. Verification of the lesions is performed by means of macro-and microscopic analysis including the post-mortem contrast cardioventriculography and histotopographic investigation. Specific changes in the interventricular septum and left ventricle are found in both cases as well as asymmetric hypertrophy and elimination of the cavity of the left ventricle in both father and son.
