Clinical features

From HPO
Sudden cardiac death
MedGen UID:
38841
•Concept ID:
C0085298
•
Pathologic Function
The heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating resulting in death within a short time period (generally within 1 h of symptom onset).
See: Feature record | Search on this feature
Paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia
MedGen UID:
18315
•Concept ID:
C0030591
•
Disease or Syndrome
Episodes of ventricular tachycardia that have a sudden onset and ending.

Right bundle branch block
MedGen UID:
88445
•Concept ID:
C0085615
•
Disease or Syndrome
A conduction block of the right branch of the bundle of His. This manifests as a prolongation of the QRS complex (greater than 0.12 s) with delayed activation of the right ventricle and terminal delay on the EKG.

Cardiomyopathy
MedGen UID:
209232
•Concept ID:
C0878544
•
Disease or Syndrome
A myocardial disorder in which the heart muscle is structurally and functionally abnormal, in the absence of coronary artery disease, hypertension, valvular disease and congenital heart disease sufficient to cause the observed myocardial abnormality.
