8 Neal K. Lakdawala et al., Am J Cardiol 2011 Q waves and repolarization abnormalities are the most discriminating ECG features of sarcomere mutation carriers with and without LVH. However, owing to the limited sensitivity of ECG and echocardiographic screening, genetic testing is required to definitively identify at-risk family members. Distinguishing ECG abnormalities in G/LVH subjects. (A C) Q waves (black arrows) and repolarization changes (T-wave inversions [asterisks] and/or ST-segment depressions [arrowheads]) were significantly more common in G/LVH subjects than G normal control relatives. IVS interventricular septum thickness by echocardiography.

9 ATHLETES ECG Cardiovascular remodelling in the conditioned athlete is frequently associated with physiologic ECG changes. Abnormalities, however, may be detected which represent expression of an underlying heart disease which puts the athlete at risk of arrhythmic cardiac arrest during sport.

19 Echocardiographic Strain Imaging to Assess Early and Late Consequences of Sarcomere Mutations in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Carolyn Y. Ho et al., Circ Cardiovasc Genet Diastolic dysfunction is an early consequence of sarcomere mutations, whereas systolic dysfunction results from mutations combined with subsequent pathological remodeling. Identifying mechanistic pathways triggered by these mutations may begin to reshape the clinical paradigm for treatment, based on early diagnosis and disease prevention. Representative 2D longitudinal strain (left) and strain rate (right) tracings from echocardiographic strain analysis in control, preclinical, and subjects with overt HCM. Measurements are taken from the interventricular septum. Tracings from the basal, mid, and apical segments are depicted in yellow, blue, and green, respectively. Arrows indicate peak values.

20 Increased left ventricular torsion in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy mutation carriers with normal wall thickness Iris K Rüssel et al., J Cardiovasc Magn Reson 2011 Carriers with normal wall thickness display increased LV torsion and TECS-ratio with respect to controls, which might be due to subendocardial myocardial dysfunction. Error bar plots of Peak LV Torsion (A) and TECS-ratio (B) (torsion to endocardial circumferential shortening) in the control and carrier group. The difference between both groups is significant.
