Combining two types of heart scan could help doctors to detect a deadly heart condition before symptoms and signs on conventional tests appear, new research co-led by the University of Leeds shows. The study shows that hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a leading cause of heart failure and sudden cardiac death, can be identified by using the two scanning techniques to look at heart muscle cells in patients with a genetic link to the condition but no overt symptoms. Affecting around 1 in 500 people in the UK, the inherited condition causes the muscular walls of the heart to become thicker than normal, impacting the heart's ability to pump blood around the body.
