چکیده
N Engl M Med 2004;350:1320-7. Copyright © 2004 Massachusetts Medical Society. A 28-year-old man presents with a two-year history of increasing dyspnea on strenuous exertion and is found to have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, with a septal thickness of 23 mm and a left ventricular outflow gradient of 80 mm Hg. There is no family history of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or sudden death. Forty-eight-hour Holter monitoring shows infrequent premature ventricular contractions. How should this patient be treated?

DIFFUSE CORONARY ARTERIAL ECTASIA WITH HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY
A 40 year old male, a known case of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, was admitted for catheterization. At catheterization and angiography, septum was hypertrophied to about 5cm and diffuse coronary artery aneurysm was revealed. We found no previous report of coronary artery aneurysm in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

It occurs not infrequently; 1 in 500 individuals within the general population is a carrier of the disease.1 The main genes responsible for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have been characterized and can be determined with relative ease.2 Some patients develop subaortic obstruction. The original term, idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic sten...

Three patients had hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and coronary artery spasm. The clinical diagnosis of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, in all patients, was confirmed by echocardiography and angiography. Significant spasm of the right coronary artery was demonstrated in each patient by selective coronary arteriography. One patient had atherosclerotic obstructive three vessel di...

متن کاملLack of reliable clinical predictors to identify obstructive sleep apnea in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
OBJECTIVE Obstructive sleep apnea is common among patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and may contribute to poor cardiovascular outcomes. However, obstructive sleep apnea is largely unrecognized in this population. We sought to identify the clinical predictors of obstructive sleep apnea among patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. METHODS Consecutive patients with hypertrophic cardi...
