Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy associated with sudden death during marathon racing.
An experienced marathon runner died suddenly during a competitive race. At necropsy, ventricular hypertrophy but no asymmetrical septal hypertrophy was found. Histological studies showed features of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The coronary arteries were normal. We propose that the runner died from myocardial ischaemia, precipitated by marathon running on a background of hypertrophic cardiomyop...
متن کاملSudden death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: associated accessory atrioventricular pathways.
Sudden death is a known but unpredictable complication of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We describe two patients who both had a strong family history of the disorder complicated by sudden death. Necropsy disclosed accessory bypass tracts, concealed in one and previously suspected in the other. One died from ventricular fibrillation and the other, who died outside hospital, had previously complai...

C ase presentation: A 14-yearold girl died suddenly and unexpectedly while exercising. Clinical and echocardiographic family screening identified hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in her only sibling, an asymptomatic 17-year-old boy. In her brother, echocardiography showed extreme septal ventricular hypertrophy, 35 mm in thickness; left ventricular (LV) outflow obstruction was absent. Left atri...
متن کاملSudden cardiac death risk in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
It is well recognized that sudden cardiac death (SCD) is an infrequent, unpredictable, but catastrophic complication of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). In population-based studies the overall SCD rate is 1% per year among patients with a clinical diagnosis of HCM. A crucial aspect of the management of patients with HCM is an assessment of each individual patient’s risk for SCD so that preven...
متن کاملSudden cardiac death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Introduction Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common disorder of cardiac muscle associated with sudden cardiac death (SCD). HCM is defined by increased left ventricular wall thickness or mass, in the absence of abnormal loading conditions to account for the observed abnormality. In most adults, the disease is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait and is caused by mutations in cardiac s...
