Figure 1. Electrocardiogram showing sinus rhythm, hypertrophy of both atriums and right ventricle, poor progression R in V4 - V6, pathological Q wave in lateral leads, ST segment elevation in I, V5 and V6, low QRS voltage in standard and V5 - V6 leads.

Figure 2. Morphological features of ALPK3-associated cardiomyopathy. Echocardiogram: apical four-chamber view (a), and transmitral flow, demonstrating restrictive type of LV diastolic function (b). Cardiac magnetic resonance: (c) LV hypertrophy in basal and middle segments, and (d) substantial late gadolinium enhancement in myocardial of both ventricles (showed by arrows). LV: left ventricle; ALPK3: alpha-protein kinase 3.
