  1. * In 45 patients none of the parents were studied to exclude the presence of asymptomatic LVH.
  2. # IVS: interventricular septum; PWT: posterior wall thickness; LVWT: left ventricular wall thickness; NYHA: New York Heart Association functional class; LVOT: left ventricular outflow tract gradient.
  3. The presence of sarcomeric mutations was not determined (ND) in the hypertensive-LVH patients.
