Abstract

Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) has different clinical and prognostic aspects in young than in adult patients. This study was undertaken to determine whether these reported differences are reflected by changes in ultrasonic backscatter parameters and whether oral treatment with verapamil modifies backscatter variables in children with HCM. Methods and Results: Sixty-eight subjects underwent backscatter analysis to assess the ultrasonic myocardial reflectivity and the amplitude of the cardiac cycle-dependent variation of the backscatter power curve. Subjects were divided into four groups: 10 HCM and 23 normal subjects
