- Abstract: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM)is a common cause of sudden deaths in children and adolescents,mostly due to ventricular arrhythmia. The abnormal ECG activity of HCM is related to the histological characteristics of myocardial hypertrophy. Although ECG lacks specificity,some changes still have certain sensitivity in HCM,or give hints to potential causes. These can provide valuable basis for the early diagnosis,as well as the monitoring and management of high-risk patients,and help estimate the time of ICD treatment.
