Histopathology in HCM

Exercise Echocardiography in Asymptomatic HCM

METHODS We included 426 HCM patients (44 14 years; 78% men) undergoing exercise echocardiography, excluding hypertensive heart disease of elderly, ejection fraction <50% and invasive therapy (myectomy or alcohol ablation) during follow-up. Clinical, echocardiographic (LV thickness, LVOT gradient, and MR) and exercise variables (percent of age-sex predicted metabolic equivalents [METs] and heart...

HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY ( HCM ) : A Review

The HCM for perceptual image segmentation

This paper presents an application of a neural network, namely the hierarchical cluster model (HCM) to intermediate-level image segmentation. The HCM forms a biological model of the brain for image region segmentation employing Gestalt rules. In particular, a three level HCM is proposed to hierarchically merge pixels into regions and methods are developed to quantify the Gestalt properties of s...
