Left ventriculoplasty for dilated cardiomyopathy in Fukuyama-type muscular dystrophy.
A 29-year-old man was hospitalized because of heart failure causing dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). On admission, he had elevated creatinine kinase levels (hyper CKemia) (4283IUl⁻) and false enlargement of bilateral calves. By a muscular biopsy, he was diagnosed as Fukuyama-type muscular dystrophy. Although neuromuscular diseases are often related to cardiomyopathy, reports showing a relation bet...
متن کاملLong-term effect of papillary muscle approximation combined with ventriculoplasty on left ventricle function in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and functional mitral regurgitation.
OBJECTIVE One of the mechanisms of development of functional mitral regurgitation after myocardial infarction is the increased papillary muscle distance which results due to ventricle remodeling. The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term effect of papillary muscle approximation (PMA) on the cardiac function of patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and increased papillary muscle dis...
متن کاملLeft ventricle restoration in end stage ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy
Background Patients with end stage dilated cardiomyopathy exhibit extensive remodeling of the left ventricle, annular dilation, and significant mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. These changes increase perioperative morbidity and mortality, and emphasize patient candidacy for heart transplantation. We previously published that Reductive Annuloplasty of Double (mitral and tricuspid) Orifices co...
متن کاملLeft atrial geometry and pump function in ischemic cardiomyopathy
BACKGROUND Many of the factors that are known to alter left atrial (LA) contractility are present in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). Nevertheless, preservation of LA contractile function in this group of patients was reported in previous studies. The aim of this study was to assess the changes in LA size, geometry and contractile function in ICM. METHODS AND RESULTS 60 subjects (...
متن کاملA presumed mechanism of mitral regurgitation after left ventriculoplasty.
After isolated left ventriculoplasty, the mechanism of mitral regurgitation (MR) remains unclear. A 68-year-old male with ischemic cardiomyopathy presented with a new onset of severe MR after left ventriculoplasty without a mitral procedure. He needed a second operation for heart failure because of the MR. We speculate about its mechanism and express caution about the procedure.
