Isolated Papillary Muscle (PM) hypertrophy is characterized by an asymmetric hypertrophy of one PM without hypertrophy
Isolated Papillary Muscle (PM) hypertrophy has been supposed to be a phenotypic variant of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Whether this finding may explain an electrocardiographic pattern of left ventricular hypertrophy has to be demonstrated. A cardiac magnetic resonance imaging may add additional crucial information. Our case was a 26-year-old asymptomatic male cyclist who underwent routine spor...
متن کاملDifferentiation of solitary papillary muscle hypertrophy from apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Hypertrophy From Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Reddy et al1 regarding a case with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The authors said that the 2D echocardiograph obtained from this patient indicated hypertrophy of the apex and that 201-Tl scintigraphic imaging demonstrated an increased count in the apical segment. However, because there ...
متن کاملPerforated appendicitis in a septuagenarian.
Appendicitis in the elderly is becoming an increasingly frequent clinical encounter due to the increased life expectancy in the human race over the last half-century. Appendicitis in this age group has, therefore, become relatively more common with an atypical presentation that incurs delay in diagnosis with attendant morbidity and mortality. We present a septuagenarian who presented atypically...
متن کاملIsolated papillary muscle hypertrophy: A gap in our knowledge of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
Increased thickness of left ventricular walls is the predominant characteristic and one of the diagnostic criteria of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). This case illustrates an uncommon but important finding of isolated hypertrophy of the papillary muscles (PMs), observed in a young woman in whom an abnormal electrocardiogram was initially detected. During the investigation isolated PM hypertr...
متن کاملAcute abdomen in a septuagenarian.
A 72-year-old lady presented with abdominal pain and distention of 3 days duration. She did not pass flatus and stools and had few episodes of bilious vomiting for 2 days. She had no past history of abdominal pain or surgery. Coronal CT scan section of abdomen (Fig. 1) showed classical Rigler’s triad of pneumobilia, dilatation of small bowel loops and ectopic gallstone which is characteristic o...
