SUDDEN DEATH RISK AMONG HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY PATIENTS WITH LEFT VENTRICULAR APICAL ANEURYSMS: DOES SIZE MATTER?
Presence of a left ventricular (LV) apical aneurysm in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is associated with increased risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VT/VF), supporting consideration for primary prevention ICD. However, there is a wide range in apical aneurysm size, including an increasing number of patients identified with relatively small aneurysms, raising consideration as to whether sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk is increased in these patients. Thereby, we sought to
