Summary
The objective of this study is to determine whether myocardial contrast echocardiography in
patients with cardiomyopathy (HCM) can detect resting hypo-perfusion due to fibrosis or
stress induced perfusion defects due to associated abnormalities in intramyocardial arteries
and the microcirculation. A secondary aim will be to determine whether abnormalities in
perfusion are associated with either severity of symptoms (chest pain and dyspnea), presence
of arrhythmias, and regional function of the septum.
