Novel electrocardiographic criteria for the diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Aims: In order to improve the electrocardiographic (ECG) diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), we evaluated novel quantitative parameters of the QRS complex and the value of bipolar chest leads (CF leads) computed from the ...

Voluminous Intrapericardial Lipoma Mimicking Pericardial Effusion
Lipomas are rare primary heart tumors and may involve the endocardium, myocardium, or pericardium. Signs and symptoms depend on the tumor location and size. The intrapericardial lipoma we report has massive dimensions and mimics a pericardial effusion. A

Late Gadolinium Enhancement and Electrocardiographic Associations in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) is a negative prognostic marker in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). In pediatric patients with HCM, greater LGE presence is associated with a paradoxical reduction in left ventricular precordial lead voltages on the electrocardiogram.
