Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy has been investigated mainly at referral institutions. Thus, the clinical history of the disease that emerges from published studies could be influenced by a bias in patient selection. In the present study, we compared the clinical features of an outpatient population of 25 patients who had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with those reported in 78 studies published during the past five years.
