Why the study?
Can echocardiographic and electrocardiographic evaluation distinguish children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy at high risk of sudden death from those at low risk?
Can echocardiographic and electrocardiographic evaluation distinguish children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy at high risk of sudden death from those at low risk?
Echocardiography and electrocardiography can effectively risk-stratify children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy to identify those at high risk of sudden death.
Children at high risk of dying suddenly with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, with a subsequent annual mortality of 6.6%, can be distinguished at the time of diagnosis from those patients having a low risk of sudden death, the latter with an annual mortality of 0.27%.
