Normal mean manifest electrical qRS in dysplastic pulmonary valve associated with hypertrophic non-obstructive left ventricular cardiomyopathy.

Dysplastic pulmonary valve is usually associated with extreme right axis deviation. A mean manifest electrical QRS axis of + 160 degrees or less was present in 11 of 30 cases of DPV studied by us. In 9 of these cases associated left ventricular hypertrophic non-obstructive cardiomyopathy was found. We suggest that a normal mean manifest electrical QRS axis in the presence of dysplastic stenotic pulmonary valve indicates the presence of associated cardiomyopathy.
