Case series reveals frequent electrocardiographic abnormalities and cardiac involvement in Friedreich disease, highlighting systemic cardiovascular pathology beyond the central nervous system.

Key Points

To determine the frequency and nature of cardiac involvement and electrocardiographic abnormalities in patients with Friedreich disease.
Assembled and evaluated a clinical cohort of 38 patients diagnosed with Friedreich disease.
Conducted specialized cardiovascular evaluations and electrocardiographic recordings prompted by cases exhibiting Stokes-Adams attacks and heart failure.
Demonstrated that cardiac abnormalities and heart failure are common features of Friedreich disease rather than isolated nervous system manifestations.
Identified frequent electrocardiographic irregularities across the series, confirming reported anomalies such as T-wave inversions, axis deviations, and nodal arrhythmias.
