Genetic bases of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is characterized by myofibrillar derangement and predominant hypertrophy of the interventricular septum associated with a reduced or normal left ventricular cavity . It determines diastolic dysfunction and a tendency towards myocardial ischemia, arrhythmia, and sudden death. With a prevalence of 1 case per 500 individuals , it occurs in all age groups, from birth to ...

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--a matter of genes.

CAN J ANESTH 55: 5 www.cja-jca.org May, 2008 outcome of the infraclavicular brachial plexus blocks. At our institution, instead of making use of “three factors,” we utilize one common endpoint to ensure the success of the blocks. It is the deposition of the local anesthetic (LA) around the brachial plexus cords. We believe that having the LA “bathe” the nerves is important in predicting the suc...
