Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in infancy has been described in associat ion with many medical disorders. The genetic location and mode of transmiss ion of HCM in families also has been reported extensively. We present an in fant with nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy whose mother also had HCM. Regression of septal hypertrophy was documented in this patient by 1 y ear of age despite a positive family history.
