Summary

Introduction

A 52-year-old asymptomatic patient was referred to our Centre after performing a pre surgical ECG for nasal septoplasty. The ECG documented isolated negative T wave in aVL and small r wave in the inferior leads (Figure 1). About 20 years before the patient had a previous retinal arterial thrombosis conditioning partial reduction of the visual field. A 2D transthoracic echocardiography revealed a slight hypertrophy of a left ventricle with preserved systolic function.
