Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Certain genetic mutations associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) carry an increased risk of sudden death. QT variability identifies patients at a high risk for sudden death from ventricular arrhythmias. We tested whether patients with HCM caused by beta-myosin heavy-chain (beta-MHC) gene mutations exhibit labile ventricular repolarization using beat-to-beat QT variability analysis. METHODS...
