Overview

Electrocardiogram

Large septal q waves may be present reflective of the septal hypertrophy. In the Yamaguchi variant of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy there may be deeply inverted T waves in precordial leads V2-V6 and II, III, aVL (see example).

Shown below is an example of a variant of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with deeply inverted T waves in precordial leads V2-V6 and II, III, aVL.




Shown below is an example of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with abnormal ST segments, deeply flipped T waves, tall R apical waves, deep Q waves. "Strain pattern" can be observed in the precordial leads.




Shown below is an example of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with ST depression in the lateral leads, deeper S waves in the right precordial leads and tall R waves in the left precordial leads with T wave inversions indicating "strain pattern"

2011 ACCF/AHA Guideline Recommendations: Electrocardiography [1][2] (DO NOT EDIT)

Class I
1. 1. A 12-lead ECG is recommended in the initial evaluation of patients with HOCM. (Level of Evidence: C)
2. Twenty-four–hour ambulatory (Holter) electrocardiographic monitoring is recommended in the initial evaluation of patients with HOCM to detect ventricular tachycardia (VT) and identify patients who may be candidates for ICD therapy.[3][4][5][6] (Level of Evidence: B)
3. Twenty-four–hour ambulatory (Holter) electrocardiographic monitoring or event recording is recommended in patients with HOCM who develop palpitations or lightheadedness.[3][4][5] (Level of Evidence: B)
4. A repeat ECG is recommended for patients with HOCM when there is worsening of symptoms. (Level of Evidence: C)
5. A 12-lead ECG is recommended every 12 to 18 months as a component of the screening algorithm for adolescent first-degree relatives of patients with HOCM who have no evidence of hypertrophy on echocardiography. (Level of Evidence: C)
6. A 12-lead ECG is recommended as a component of the screening algorithm for first-degree relatives of patients with HOCM. (Level of Evidence: C)
Class IIa
1. Twenty-four–hour ambulatory (Holter) electrocardiographic monitoring, repeated every 1 to 2 years, is reasonable in patients with HOCM who have no previous evidence of VT to identify patients who may be candidates for ICD therapy.[6] (Level of Evidence: C)
2. Annual 12-lead ECGs are reasonable in patients with known HOCM who are clinically stable to evaluate for asymptomatic changes in conduction or rhythm (i.e., AF). (Level of Evidence: C)
Class IIb
1. Twenty-four–hour ambulatory (Holter) electrocardiographic monitoring might be considered in adults with HOCM to assess for asymptomatic paroxysmal AF/atrial flutter. (Level of Evidence: C)

Stress Test

2011 ACCF/AHA Guideline Recommendations: Stress Testing [1][2]

Class IIa
1. Treadmill exercise testing is reasonable to determine functional capacity and response to therapy in patients with HOCM. (Level of Evidence: C)
2. Treadmill testing with monitoring of an ECG and blood pressure is reasonable for SCD risk stratification in patients with HOCM.[7][8][9] (Level of Evidence: B)
3. In patients with HOCM who do not have a resting peak instantaneous gradient of greater than or equal to 50 mm Hg, exercise echocardiography is reasonable for the detection and quantification of exercise-induced dynamic LVOT obstruction.[10][11][7][8] (Level of Evidence: B)
