    Author: Hong ML, Perrenoud JJ, Loew F.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1992 Aug 29; 122(35):1282-6. PubMed ID: 1529316.
    Abstract:
    An abnormal Q wave in the ECG of the elderly calls for differential diagnosis between an old myocardial infarction and left ventricular hypertrophy. The latter may be due to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the prognosis of which is good in the elderly. The echocardiogram is the only method which provides the correct diagnosis and helps to avoid incorrect treatment.
