Asymmetric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in generalized lipodystrophy

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy without asymmetric hypertrophy.

A 49-year-old women with congestive heart failure and heart block died of cerebral embolism. Clinical and echocardiographic findings suggested a diagnosis of atypical dilated cardiomyopathy with predominantly right ventricular involvement. At necropsy, all the cardiac chambers were slightly dilated and the interventricular septum and the left ventricular wall were of normal thickness and symmet...

DIFFUSE CORONARY ARTERIAL ECTASIA WITH HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY

A 40 year old male, a known case of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, was admitted for catheterization. At catheterization and angiography, septum was hypertrophied to about 5cm and diffuse coronary artery aneurysm was revealed. We found no previous report of coronary artery aneurysm in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in Friedreich's ataxia: symmetric or asymmetric?

We evaluated 15 patients with Friedreich's ataxia (FA) to define the incidence of myocardial involvement and the type of cardiomyopathy observed. All patients with FA had either ECG, vectocardiographic or echocardiographic abnormalities, suggesting some degree of myocardial involvement. In contrast to reports indicating that asymmetric septal hypertrophy (ASH), often obstructive, is associated ...
