Aortopathy in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: the association with dilation of sinus of valsalva versus mid ascending aorta, an epidemiological study

Conclusions: These data suggest that HCM is associated with increased prevalence of dilated SV, but not MAA. The lower odds of DA in HCM patients who were gene positive, suggest that this associated may not be genetically mediated. Further studies are required to identify the pathophysiology behind this association
