Abstract: BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) have elevated risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD). Our study aimed to quantitatively characterize microvolt T-wave alternans (TWA), a potential arrhythmia risk stratification tool, in this HCM patient population.… read more here.

DOI: 10.5935/abc.20180081
Abstract: DOI: 10.5935/abc.20180081 Visible T-wave alternans (TWA) has been reported since 1909, being, thus, not a recent finding.1 However, non-visible and far less rare microvolt TWA has gained importance because of its association with electrical disorders… read more here.
