Echocardiography may be helpful in the diagnosis of Friedreich's ataxia. Findings on an echocardiography suggestive of Friedreich's ataxia include: Varying degrees of septal hypertrophy in approximately 81% of cases, left ventricular free wall hypertrophy in approximately 61% of cases, slight reduction of left [[ventricular]] internal dimension in approximately 57% of cases and systolic anterior motion of the [[mitral valve]] in approximately 14 % of cases. | |||

Overview
Echocardiography may be helpful in the diagnosis of Friedreich's ataxia. Findings on an echocardiography suggestive of Friedreich's ataxia include: Varying degrees of septal hypertrophy in approximately 81% of cases, left ventricular free wall hypertrophy in approximately 61% of cases, slight reduction of left ventricular internal dimension in approximately 57% of cases and systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve in approximately 14 % of cases.
Echocardiography
Echocardiography may be helpful in the diagnosis of Friedreich's ataxia. Findings on an echocardiography suggestive of Friedreich's ataxia include:[1]
- Varying degrees of septal hypertrophy in approximately 81% of cases
- Left ventricular free wall hypertrophy in approximately 61% of cases
- Slight reduction of left ventricular internal dimension in approximately 57% of cases
- Systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve in approximately 14 % of cases
