Correlation between sigmoid interventricular septum angle and presence of Q waves on the electrocardiogram

“…SIVS is one of the most frequent incidental findings during TTE in asymptomatic populations. Most studies correlate SIVS and its relevant echocardiographic features with the presence of arterial HTN or subclinical hypertrophied cardiomyopathy/subaortic stenosis, with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging being the best diagnostic tool for further evaluation [4][5][6]. Thus, based on the lack of data from the existing literature our study aimed to highlight the predisposing clinical and echocardiographic parameters for the appearance of Q waves in leads V1 and/or V2 of the ECG in subjects with SIVS.…”
