[Identical male twins showing progression from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy to dilated cardiomyopathy-like features].

Twenty-three-year-old identical male twins with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which progressed into the dilated phase are reported. The younger brothers first presented at age 16 with an abnormal electrocardiogram. Hypertrophic nonobstructive cardiomyopathy with an asymmetric septal hypertrophy was diagnosed. He was treated with beta-blocker, but he stopped taking the drug as he had no symptoms at that time. He presented again at age 21 years with symptoms of apparent congestive heart failure. Echocardiography showed marked dilatation of the left ventricle with thin wall which was compatible with dilated cardiomyopathy. The elder brother presented with an initial echocardiogram showing systolic anterior movement of the mitral valve without asymmetric septal hypertrophy. He presented again with his brother aged 21 years when his echocardiogram showed slight dilatation of the left ventricle, although he did not complain of cardiac symptoms. These identical twins are the first reported cases of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy progressing to the deteriorated dilated phase.
