Abstract: Background Cardiovascular disease is among the main causes of morbidity and mortality in adult population in Malaysia. Since 10 years ago, it became the most important reason for hospitalisation in government hospitals. Non-invasive 12-lead resting electrocardiograph (ECG) has been recognised internationally as a simple, yet reliable surveillance tool to detect any cardiomyopathy condition.
