Echocardiography assessment of the left ventricle apical morphology and dynamics in patients with unexplainable deep T-wave inversion and apical wall thickness<15 mm
Abstract:Background: There exists a group of patients with the same ECG characteristics as typical apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) but fails to reach the diagnostic criteria. The objective of this study was to evaluate the apical morphological and dynamical features of this type of patients using echocardiography.Methods:A total of 30 subjects with unexplainable T-wave inversion (TWI) on ECG and apical myocardium thickness <15 mm by echocardiography were recruited. The apical morphological and dynamic feat… Show more
