We show for the first time that HCM-DM patients display greater reductions in myocardial energetics, perfusion, and contractile function and higher myocardial scar burden and serum NT-proBNP levels compared with patients with isolated HCM despite similar LV mass and wall thickness and presence of sarcomeric mutations. These adverse phenotypic features may be important components of the adverse clinical manifestation attributable to a combined presence of HCM and T2DM.
