CIRC - "Risk of Cardiomyopathy in Younger Persons With a Family History of Death from Cardiomyopathy"

"Risk of Cardiomyopathy in Younger Persons With a Family History of Death from Cardiomyopathy"

"Conclusions—A family history of premature cardiomyopathy death was associated with an increase in risk of cardiomyopathy ranging from 6- to 400-fold, depending on age, kinship, gender and number of affected family members. Our general population-based results support recommendations for presymptomatic screening of relatives of cardiomyopathy patients."
