Abstract
Unexplained LVH commonly prompts a diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a sarcomeric protein gene disorder. While ventricular preexcitation is more frequently observed in patients with HCM its presence in a young patient with an HCM phenocopy should raise suspicion for an underlying storage, metabolic, or syndromic condition.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electrocardiology is devoted exclusively to clinical and experimental studies of the electrical activities of the heart. It seeks to contribute significantly to the accuracy of diagnosis and prognosis and the effective treatment, prevention, or delay of heart disease. Editorial contents include electrocardiography, vectorcardiography, arrhythmias, membrane action potential, cardiac pacing, monitoring defibrillation, instrumentation, drug effects, and computer applications.
