Int J Cardiol. 2006 May 24;109(3):432-3. doi: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2005.07.065. Epub 2005 Nov 2.

Abstract

We report a rare case of a 65 year old male with mid left ventricular cavity obstruction which is an uncommon form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with cytogenetic analysis revealing novel mutations in mitochondrial nucleic acid.
