There are currently no established diagnostic criteria for the identification of abnormal Q waves in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), resulting in various definitions being applied in each previous study. The aim of this study was to determine the most accurate diagnostic definition of abnormal Q waves for HCM based on a molecular genetic diagnosis, and also to apply abnormal Q waves to the identification of preclinical carriers.
