ESCAPE-HCM study: Evaluation of SCreening of Asymptomatic PatiEnts with Hypertrophic CardioMyopathy.

ABSTRACT

The ESCAPE-HCM study is a prospective followup study of asymptomatic mutation-carrying relatives of HCM patients aiming at optimising anamnestic and cardiological evaluation and surveillance for this group. All relatives undergo regular cardiological evaluation and risk status is prospectively estimated, according to known HCM-related risk factors for sudden cardiac death. (Neth Heart J 2007;15216-20.).
