Pattern of left ventricular hypertrophy seen on transthoracic echo in patients with hypertensive cardiomyopathy when compared with idiopathic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
OBJECTIVE To explore the pattern of left ventricular hypertrophy caused by hypertension and to compare it with idiopathic hypertrophiccardiomyopathy. METHODS The retrospective study was conducted at the echocardiography lab of Rashid Hospital, Dubai, from January 2009 to January 2010.

متن کاملCorrelation between Stroke and Spontaneous Echo Contrast by Tissue Harmonic Imaging in Patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Introduction Spontaneous echo contrast (SEC) is a smokelike echo phenomenon with a swirling pattern of blood flow that can be observed in transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) or transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), most often within the left atrium or left ventricle. SEC is first described by Feigenbaum in 1975, which has been observed under conditions of low blood flow velocity, such as rhe...

متن کامل[Predictors of myocardial contractile reserve in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. An echo-stress dobutamine study].
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Myocardial contractile reserve studies with low-dose dobutamine echocardiography have been shown to be useful to assess functional myocardial status. However, the variables associated with contractile reserve after inotropic stimulation are not well known. PATIENTS AND METHOD We studied 50 patients (35 men, mean age 56.4 +/- 9.5 years) with nonischemic dilated card...
متن کاملHuman Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Cardiomyopathy: A Systematic Review
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has been associated with cardiac disease, including anatomical or functional disturbance to the heart. Cardiomyopathy (CMP) is one of these disturbances that have been associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. In this review article, several aspects of potential relationships between HIV infection and cardiomyopathy development have been...
