Occurrence and clinical significance of endocardial late potentials and fractionations in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.
In order to assess the occurrence and clinical significance of abnormal electrograms in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, endocardial electrode mapping during sinus rhythm and programmed ventricular stimulation were performed in 52 patients with or without clinical ventricular tachycardia. Abnormal endocardial electrograms were recorded in 77% of the patients and were diffusely distributed ove...
متن کاملRecurrence of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy: evidence-based predictors.
BACKGROUND Ventricular arrhythmia (VA) is the most frequent cause of sudden death among patients with non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). AIM To identify the important VA risk factors in patients with DCM. METHODS AND RESULTS Eighty-five DCM patients (73 males, mean age 54 years) with DCM and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) were followed for 21+/-19 months after ICD im...
متن کاملRight Ventricular Non-Compaction Cardiomyopathy in Children: Brief Review Literature
Right ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy (RVNC) is a genetic heterogeneous cardiomyopathy. Despite the increasing number of RVNC cases, the classification and natural history of this disorder are not completely clear. Also, because the pathogenic non-compaction cannot be easily differentiated from normal trabeculations, it is usually hard to accurately measure the prevalence of RV ...
متن کاملRight ventricular dilated cardiomyopathy.
Fourteen patients with predominantly right sided dilated cardiomyopathy were studied, of whom five died suddenly. The condition is characterised by male preponderance, syncope, ventricular tachycardia, which typically has a left bundle branch block pattern on the surface electrocardiogram, and right heart failure. The diagnosis should be considered in patients presenting with otherwise unexplai...
متن کاملFamilial right ventricular dilated cardiomyopathy.
Cardiomyopathy of unknown cause occurred in three of six siblings. The course of the illness was marked by life threatening supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias, sinoatrial block, atrioventricular block, and embolism (in one patient). The disease was characterised by right ventricular dilatation. Two of the three patients died aged 32 and 48. No new cases of the disease were found when ...
