Value of The Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD) as a Bridging-Therapy before Implantation of a Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD).
Wearable cardioverter defibrillators (WCD), initially available in 2002, have recently experienced more routine use in many institutions as a means of preventing sudden cardiac death (SCD) prior to implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) evaluation or implantation. WCD differ from ICD by their noninvasive nature, making them well suited for patient populations who have a chance for signifi...
متن کاملMultivessel myocardial bridging in a patient with spiral hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Myocardial bridging is commonly observed in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, usually confined to the left anterior descending (LAD), and correlates to the hypertrophic septum. We present a patient with unique spiral hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and compression of all three coronary arteries corresponding to this hypertrophy pattern.
متن کاملMyocardial bridging in adult patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
OBJECTIVES This investigation examined the risk of sudden cardiac death and other mortality in adult patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) who have myocardial bridging diagnosed at coronary angiography. BACKGROUND Several reports have associated myocardial bridging with an adverse prognosis in pediatric HCM patients, but the prognosis of myocardial bridging in adult patients with HC...
متن کاملSymptomatic myocardial bridging in a child without hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Myocardial bridging (MB) is a rare coronary anomaly in children that is typically associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or left ventricular hypertrophy. Several reports, mainly in adults, have suggested an association between MB and sudden death or ischemia without other cardiac abnormalities. In this report, we describe an 11-year-old girl with syncope and manifestations of cardiac ische...
متن کاملApical aneurysm and myocardial bridging in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: association or consequence of the myocardial bridging?
The identification of high-risk patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC) for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains a challenging issue, since major risk factors sometimes lack specificity. We report the case of a patient with HC and association of apical aneurysm and myocardial bridging who had been initially not implanted because she had only one major risk factor....
