Popis: Abstract Aim The diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with moderate hypertrophy is challenging. Hypertensive heart disease (HHD) is the most common differential diagnosis that mimics the LVH of HCM. The aim of this study was to compare the QRS duration in HCM and HHD to create a novel diagnostic tool to identify primary HCM. Methods and results We conducted an international retrospective multicentre study enrolling patients with true HCM and HHD. A total of 547 individuals with HCM and 139 with HHD were included. The median QRS duration was significantly shorter in HCM than in HHD (88 ms [80–94] vs. 98 ms [88–108]; P
