Does RV fibrosis have an effect on mortality in patients hypertrophic cardiomyopathy? An LV vs. RV national death index (NDI) study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Introduction CMR has become the leading technique to define the clinical impact of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) providing complete coverage of both ventricles with high spatial resolution. Gadolinium delayed-enhancement (DHE) accurately identifies regions of myocardial fibrosis. Via CMR, innumerable studies have established that LVH is the predominant phenotypic expression of HCM. It is well known that myocardial fibrosis can occur in patients with HCM and is independently linked to a poorer prognosis than those without fibrosis by CMR.

Introduction: CMR has become the leading modality to define the clinical impact of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) accurately identifies regions of myocardial fibrosis. It is well known that myocardial fibrosis can occur in patients with HCM and is independently linked to a poorer prognosis than those without fibrosis by CMR. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that ...
متن کاملRight Ventricular Function Quantification in Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Using Two-Dimensional Strain Echocardiography
AIMS This study sought to characterize global and regional right ventricular (RV) myocardial function in patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) using 2D strain imaging. METHODS We compared various parameters of RV and left ventricular (LV) systolic function between 2 groups of consecutive patients with TC at initial presentation and upon follow-up. Group 1 had RV involvement and group 2 ...

Michael K. Atalay, MD, PhD, and Franklin Schneider, MD a 52 year-old Man wiTh ChroniC obstructive pulmonary disease and no prior cardiac history presented with new onset congestive heart failure (CHF). Echocardiography revealed severely depressed global left ventricular (LV) function and mildly reduced right ventricular (RV) function. His estimated pulmonary artery pressure was 80 mmHg, consi...
متن کاملEvaluation of the right ventricular function in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy: a strain and tissue Doppler study.
We investigated the utility of strain, strain rate, and tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) for the evaluation of the right ventricle (RV) impairment in patients with a hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) who underwent a successful alcohol septal ablation (ASA) and were without RV hypertrophy. A group of 19 patients suffering from HOCM with 22 controls was compared. The parameters of TDI we...
