متن کاملApical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
We describe a patient with asymptomatic apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) who later developed cardiac arrhythmias, and briefly discuss the diagnostic modalities, differential diagnosis and treatment option for this condition. AHCM is a rare form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which classically involves the apex of the left ventricle. AHCM can be an incidental finding, or patients may pr...
متن کاملHypertrophic cardiomyopathy: diagnosis, risk stratification and treatment.
mon inherited cardiomyopathy, occurring in about 1 in 500 individuals. The first gene mutation for this condition was identified in a large French Canadian family cohort in 1989. Clinical presentation typically includes left ventricular hypertrophy in the absence of abnormal loading conditions, such as hypertension or aortic stenosis. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy has come to public recognition i...
متن کاملContrast Echocardiography for Diagnosis of Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Most patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) have asymmetric septal hypertrophy; and among them, 25% present dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Apical HCM is unusual. Echocardiography has been the first imaging method for patients with suspected HCM, but its shortcomings in evaluating the apex are well known. We present a 56-year-old woman with a history of left hemitho...
متن کاملUtility of tissue characterization in apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy diagnosis.
A 60-year-old male with previous hypertension, left ventricle hypertrophy, and coronary artery disease was referred for stress echocardiography because of exertional chest pain. The electrocardiogram revealed deep T-wave inversion in the anterolateral leads. Contrast echocardiography was notable for an apical filling defect consistent with the apical form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Cardiac...
