Echocardiographic screening of asymptomatic relatives of patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy identifies a subset with left ventricular enlargement who are assumed to have early familial idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. This study shows for the first time that the myocardium in such relatives demonstrates abnormal cellularity.
