Systematic Comparison of Digital Electrocardiograms From Healthy Athletes and Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Systematic Comparison of Digital Electrocardiograms From Healthy Athletes and Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Continuous ECG characteristics were compared using Student t tests and dichotomous variables using chi-square tests. Because of differences in age, a secondary analysis with only HCM patients under 40 years of age was performed. Compared to athletes, patients with HCM had a higher resting heart rate...

Zusammenfassung:Continuous ECG characteristics were compared using Student t tests and dichotomous variables using chi-square tests. Because of differences in age, a secondary analysis with only HCM patients under 40 years of age was performed. Compared to athletes, patients with HCM had a higher resting heart rate (71 vs. 62 beats/min; p < 0.001), were more likely to have QRS duration >140 ms (12.5% vs. 0.09%; p < 0.001), a QTc interval >480 ms (14.6% vs. 0.4%; p < 0.001), left or right axis deviation, right bundle branch block, and right or left atrial abnormality.
