Why the study?
Are deep T-wave inversion and fragmented QRS complex on ECG associated with apical HCM and myocardial fibrosis on CMR in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
Are deep T-wave inversion and fragmented QRS complex on ECG associated with apical HCM and myocardial fibrosis on CMR in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
Deep T-wave inversion on ECG is a strong independent predictor of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, whereas fragmented QRS does not independently predict myocardial fibrosis.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Deep TWI on ECG may aid apical HCM identification in HCM; hypothesis-generating for fQRS and fibrosis, needing prospective validation.
Tangwiwat et al. (2018) studied this question.
