Abstract:Male, 34-years-old, developed a rapidly progressive heart failure four years ago, resulting from a left ventricular (LV) noncompaction cardiomyopathy according to findings from magnetic resonance angiography. The initial electrocardiogram (Fig. 1) showed a first-degree AV block, left ventricular and left atrial overload and left bundle branch block, with SÂT at +30°, and biphasic T waves in D1 and V6. Recently, after a viral infection of the respiratory tract he presented with a severe exertional limitation. D… Show more
Prolonged QRS complexes, PR and QTc intervals in LVHT are associated with heart failure and left ventricular dilatation, but not with NMD. The prognostic role of QEMs in LVHT needs further investigations in larger series.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
