Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: In the molecular era, two types of phenotypic differences are recognized between electrocardiography (ECG) and echocardiography in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM); ECG abnormalities in carriers without left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), and normal ECG patterns in carriers with LVH. The goal of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of ECG for detecting carriers without LVH, and also to...
