Why the study?
Relationships between electrocardiography findings and echocardiographic profiles in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are not fully understood.
What are the associations between specific ECG findings and echocardiographic profiles in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?

ECG voltage criteria lack echo LVH correlation in HCM; leaves open specific Q-wave and giant T-wave utility for subtype identification.
What are the associations between specific ECG findings and echocardiographic profiles in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
In patients with HCM, specific ECG findings such as abnormal Q waves and giant negative T waves correlate with the regional distribution of left ventricular hypertrophy on echocardiography, whereas voltage criteria for LVH do not.
