LV hypertrophy was found in a similar proportion in early adolescence, but progressed only in HCM genotype positive patients. A potential grey zone of LV hypertrophy ranged from septum thickness Z-score 2.0-3.3. LV volumes remained larger in athletes. Evaluating progression of wall thickness and volume may help clinicians distinguish physiological LV hypertrophy from early HCM.
