Abstract

Non-infarctional Electrocardiogram (ECG) Q-waves are occasionally encountered in association with a variety of normal and pathological states. Such Q-waves, particularly involving the inferior or inferolateral ECG leads in association with segmental left ventricular hypertrophy of the basal septum and/or anterior left ventricular wall, are encountered in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and sigmoid septum, with as yet unknown pathologoanatomic and nosological significance, thus requiring long-term ECG/imaging follow-up.
