Abstract
A family with a disorder of heart muscle (asymmetrical hypertrophy) of inherited nature, notable for sudden death, and with clinical features suggesting obstruction to the inflow tract of the right ventricle, is described. The clinical aspects and manifestations, diagnosis, prognosis, and pathology are described, and the title of obstructive cardiomyopathy is proposed for these and similar cases.Keywords
