Overview
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
