Over three generations, several members of a family suffered from cardiomyopathy exhibiting, primarily, rhythm and conduction disturbances and, eventually, congestive heart failure. Certain serum enzymes (SGOT, SGPT, LDH) were elevated. The clinical examination indicated a progressive deterioration with increasing age of the patients, a more serious course in the male members of the family, and the frequent association of mental retardation.

“…27 In 1949, Evans reported that idiopathic ventricular hypertrophy may, in some instances, be familial. 28 In 1958, Donald Teare-a pathologist-studied the hearts of 9 patients with left ventricular hypertrophy, 8 of whom had died suddenly; he reported that the hypertrophy was asymmetrical and most severe in the ventricular septum 29 ( Figure 4 in the article by McKenna et al 11 ). Thus, by 1958, the condition now termed HCM had the following characteristics: asymmetrical left ventricular hypertrophy causing obstruction to ventricular outflow, a familial association in some patients and an increased risk of arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death.…”
