Özet

Unexplained LVH commonly prompts a diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a sarcomeric protein gene disorder. While ventricular preexcitation is more frequently observed in patients with HCM its presence in a young patient with an HCM phenocopy should raise suspicion for an underlying storage, metabolic, or syndromic condition.
