Correlation of Electrocardiographic Changes with Cardiac MagneticResonance Findings in Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

摘要

BackgroundElectrocardiogram is the initial test in the investigation of heart disease. Electrocardiographic changes in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have no set pattern, and correlates poorly with echocardiographic findings. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging has been gaining momentum for better assessment of hypertrophy, as well as the detection of myocardial fibrosis.
