The Clinical and Genetic Characteristics of Hypertrophic, Dilated, and Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathies *In the presence of family history of HCM, left ventricular wall thickness of ≥13 mm is diagnostic for HCM. CCB = calcium channel blocker; CMR = cardiac magnetic resonance imaging; CRT-P/D = cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker/ defibrillator; CT = computed tomography; DHP = dihydropyridine; ECG = electrocardiogram; EMB = endomyocardial biopsy; FHx = family history; HCM = hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; HF = heart failure; HOCM = hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy; ICD = implantable cardioverter-defibrillator; LGE = late gadolinium enhancement; LV = left ventricle; LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction; LVH = left ventricular hypertrophy; LVOTO = left ventricular outflow tract obstruction; NSVT = nonsustained ventricular tachycardia; PVC = premature ventricular contraction; RVEF = right ventricular ejection fraction; SAECG = single averaged electrocardiogram; SCA = sudden cardiac arrest; SCD = sudden cardiac death; TWI = T-wave inversion; VF = ventricular fibrillation; VT = ventricular tachycardia.
