The present study compared the ECG abnormalities associated with the LV remodeling of HCM (nondilated, hypertrophic LV) and that of athlete's heart (augmented LV mass due to increase of both cavity dimension and wall thickness), with particular reference to the prevalence, clinical significance, and relevance to screening of the ECG pattern of isolated increase of QRS voltages. The main study objective was to evaluate the risk to miss a diagnosis of HCM by interpreting as normal the ECG pattern of isolated increase of QRS amplitude in highly trained athletes.

Abstract
The present study compared the ECG abnormalities associated with the LV remodeling of HCM (nondilated, hypertrophic LV) and that of athlete's heart (augmented LV mass due to increase of both cavity dimension and wall thickness), with particular reference to the prevalence, clinical significance, and relevance to screening of the ECG pattern of isolated increase of QRS voltages. The main study objective was to evaluate the risk to miss a diagnosis of HCM by interpreting as normal the ECG pattern of isolated increase of QRS amplitude in highly trained athletes.File in questo prodotto:
