Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with midventricular obstruction and apical aneurysm formation in a single family: case report
BACKGROUND Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an extremely heterogeneous disease. An under recognized and very often missed subgroup within this broad spectrum concerns patients with left ventricular (LV) apical aneurysms in the absence of coronary artery disease. CASE PRESENTATION We describe a case of HCM with midventricular obstruction and apical aneurysm formation in 3 patients coming f...
متن کاملHemodynamic Consequences of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy with Midventricular Obstruction: Apical Aneurysm and Thrombus Formation
BACKGROUND Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with midventricular hypertrophy is an uncommon phenotypic variant of the disease. Midventricular hypertrophy predisposes to intracavitary obstruction and downstream hemodynamic sequelae. CASE REPORT We present a case of HCM with midventricular hypertrophy and obstruction diagnosed after a CT scan of the abdomen incidentally revealed a filling defec...
متن کاملMidventricular Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy with Apical Aneurysm: Potential for Underdiagnosis and Value of Multimodality Imaging
We illustrate a case of midventricle obstructive HCM and apical aneurysm diagnosed with appropriate use of multimodality imaging. A 75-year-old African American woman presented with a 3-day history of chest pain and dyspnea with elevated troponins. Her electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm, left atrial enlargement, left ventricular hypertrophy, prolonged QT, and occasional ectopy. After medical...
متن کاملApical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
We describe a patient with asymptomatic apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) who later developed cardiac arrhythmias, and briefly discuss the diagnostic modalities, differential diagnosis and treatment option for this condition. AHCM is a rare form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which classically involves the apex of the left ventricle. AHCM can be an incidental finding, or patients may pr...
متن کاملVentricular tachycardia in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with apical aneurysm.
Midventricular hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a rare form of cardiomyopathy that may be associated with an apical aneurysm. The mechanism of aneurysm formation is uncertain, but it may be related to subendocardial ischemia. In this report, we describe a 57-year-old man with recurrent ventricular arrhythmias that were refractory to medical treatment because of midventricular hypertrophic cardiom...
