Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) has a prevalence of 1 in 500 people and highly increases the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Diagnosis is typically based on the Echocardiogram, while cardiac MRI is used for detection of myocardial scarring through Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE), an important risk marker for SCD.

Before the procedure, patients should have an electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) to check the heart’s rhythm and function. We can also use intracardiac echocardiography to guide and facilitate the procedure with real-time visualisation of the cardiac structures being treated.”

A formal echocardiogram was completed the next day and again showed a normal ejection fraction without any focal wall motion abnormalities to suggest CAD. Induced Brugada-type electrocardiogram, a sign for imminent malignant arrhythmias. The Troponin I was cycled over time and was 0.353 followed by 0.296. Circulation, 117, 1890–1893.
