Abstract excerpt
In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC), electrocardiographic (ECG) changes have been postulated to be an early marker of disease, detectable in sarcomere mutation carriers when left ventricular (LV) wall thickness is still normal. However, the ECG features of mutation carriers have not been fully characterized. Therefore, we systematically analyzed ECGs in a genotyped HC population to characterize ECG findings in...
