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)
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
secondary prevention ICD; all other patients with primary prevention implants
