Invasive Hemodynamics of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

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

Circulation Research is available at http://circres.ahajournals.org DOI: 10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.117.311059 Abstract: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic disorder that is characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy unexplained by secondary causes and a nondilated left ventricle with preserved or increased ejection fraction. It is commonly asymmetrical with the most severe hypertrophy in...

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited cardiac disease with an incidence of about 1 in 500 individuals. It is characterized by asymmetrical hypertrophy of the left ventricle in the absence of other causes for hypertrophy. HCM can vary from essentially asymptomatic to highly malignant up to end-stage heart failure or cause life-threatening arrhythmias with sudden cardiac death particu...
