Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is associated with increased plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), but sequential plasma and myocardial BNP assessment in stable and dilated HCM has never been performed.Forty consecutive HCM patients (42 ± 8 years, 25 males) underwent cardiac catheterization, angiography, and left ventricular (LV) endomyocardial biopsy.

The HCM patients were divided into those with preserved...
