Symbols:

*

radio frequency ablation of bypass tract at age 14 years in patient #1 and at age 15 in patient #7

anomalous anterolateral papillary muscle insertion into anterior mitral leaflet; marked LV wall thinning to 23 mm over clinical course

LV wall thickness regression to 14 mm at time of death (by echocardiography)

**

predominant LV hypertrophy of posterior LV free wall (septum = 40 mm)

β

creatine kinase and alanine aminotransferase levels elevated by factor of ≥2 and organ specific enzyme isoforms indicated cardiac, as well as musculoskeletal and liver, involvement

α

secondary prevention ICD; all other patients with primary prevention implants

+ = present; 0=absent

Abbreviations:

AF = atrial fibrillation; CM = cardiomyopathy; CRT = cardiac resynchronization therapy; ECG = electrocardiogram; F = female; HF = heart failure; ICD = implantable cardioverter-defibrillator; IVCD = intraventricular conduction defect; LAD = left axis deviation; LBBB = left bundle branch block; LV = left ventricular; LVH = left ventricular hypertrophy; M = male; nl = normal; NSVT = nonsustained ventricular tachycardia; NYHA = New York Heart Association; PVB = premature ventricular beats; SAM = systolic anterior motion (of mitral valve); SCD = sudden cardiac death; VT = ventricular tachycardia; VF = ventricular fibrillation; WPW = Wolff-Parkinson-White (pre-excitation pattern); y = year

Selected data from these patients appear in a previous report describing their initial genetic identification (1,11).
