Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the abnormal thickening of the ventricles and an increase in cardiac mass. Analyses of 108 rhesus macaque probands with pronounced HCM revealed a strong genetic predisposition to this disease. Macaques are ideal for investigating HCM because of their marked similarity to humans genetically, physiologically and anatomically.
