Abstract

Non-infarctional Q-waves in general are often recorded in the ECG, and are attributed to anatomical and electrical ECG axis shifts, presence of accessory pathways, pregnancy, HCM, and other HCM-like segmental LV myocardial hypertrophic states, that are currently not fully characterized, as to their nosological nature. The present focused review concerns in particular inferior Q-waves and their association with segmental basal anterior and/or septal LV hypertophies due to HCM, and other not yet fully characterized basal segmental LV hypertophies. Insights from the currently available literature on the topic are reviewed, and varying opinions about the nature of such hypertophic states are discussed, with some suggestions, for what is needed to be done, for their further pathlogenetic characterization.
