2011 ACCF/AHA Guideline for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

The discussion and recommendations about the various diagnostic modalities apply to patients with established hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and to a variable extent to patients with a high index of suspicion of the disease.
