Quantitative analysis of cardiac muscle cell disorganization in the ventricular septum of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
The presence of numerous abnormally arranged cardiac muscle cells in the ventricular septum has been considered a characteristic anatomic feature of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. To determine the specificity of this histologic marker for patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, we used a quantitative method to determine the area of myocardium occupied by disorganized cells. In hy...
متن کاملApical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in a Case with Chest Pain and Family History of Sudden Cardiac Death: A Case Report
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common genetic cardiovascular disease, which is caused by a multitude of mutations in genes encoding proteins of the cardiac sarcomere (1). Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) is an uncommon type of HCM. The sudden cardiac death is less likely to occur in the patients inflicted with AHCM (2). Herein, we presented the case of a 29-year-old man ...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of the distribution of cardiac muscle cell disorganization in the left ventricular wall of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
The distribution of cardiac muscle cell disorganization in different regions of the left ventricular wall was studied quantitatively in 52 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Cellular disorganization in the ventricular septum was both common and extensive (mean area of septal tissue section disorganized, 35 i 4%). Disorganization was also substantial (24 ± 3%) in the left ventricular fre...
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 کاملDifferentiation of solitary papillary muscle hypertrophy from apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Hypertrophy From Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Reddy et al1 regarding a case with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The authors said that the 2D echocardiograph obtained from this patient indicated hypertrophy of the apex and that 201-Tl scintigraphic imaging demonstrated an increased count in the apical segment. However, because there ...
