Imaging Features of Symptomatic Hypertrophic Tuberculum Peroneum

Symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

H ypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common, yet challenging condition for clinical management. The majority of these patients have evidence of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction that may be asymptomatic or associated with debilitating symptoms of heart failure. In this report, we discuss the clinical presentation, appropriate evaluation, and management of a patient with sympt...

Minimally Symptomatic Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

We investigated the effects of nifedipine on left ventricular diastolic function in 17 asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy by simultaneously measuring left ventricular pressure and volume with a catheter-tipped manometer and biplane cineangiography. Studies were performed before and 20 minutes after sublingual administration of nifedipine (20 mg). Hea...

Imaging Features of Symptomatic Radiation-induced Cervical Artery Stenosis

Os peroneum imaging: normal appearance and pathological findings

The os peroneum (OP) is a small sesamoid bone located inside the peroneus longus tendon (PLT), close to the cuboid. The OP can be the cause of pain and can be associated with lesions of the PLT. OP involvement in PLT disorders is frequently misdiagnosed by radiologists. Painful os peroneum syndrome (POPS) refers to a variety of conditions presenting with pain localized on the lateral aspect of ...

Utilization in Symptomatic Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Background. Previous studies suggested the presence of myocardial ischemia in symptomatic patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Positron emission tomography, a technique that can identify metabolic consequences of ischemia in coronary artery disease, permits the noninvasive measurements of regional myocardial blood flow and glucose metabolism. This new quantitative imaging approach should ...
