Electrocardiographic changes and long-term prognosis of children diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy by the school screening program for heart disease in Japan.

CONCLUSIONS: The SS was useful in detecting patients with HCM with mild or no symptoms at the early stage. However, our study indicated that early detection of HCM is not associated with improvement in the prognosis of the patients. Further studies are needed.
