| Research Abstract |
I investigated the genotype-phenotype correlations in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). In genetic analysis, I reported some mutations associated with HCM, particularly mutations in cardiac myosin-binding protein C gene. In the studies of clinical phenotype in HCM, I focused on the left ventricular remodeling of this disease and reported several results including the usefulness of biomarkers for predicting the prognosis.
