Biventricular assist device use in non-dilated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

چکیده
Advanced heart failure is a rare but important complication of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The only definitive treatment is heart transplantation and the role of ventricular assist devices remains uncertain. We describe the use of implantable biventricular assist devices in the treatment of a patient with 'end-stage' non-dilated HCM.

“Burnt out” dilated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy causing acute LVAD thrombosis
Case report illustrates obstruction encountered in a patient with end-stage dilated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) who underwent LVAD implantation. The morphology reversed in early postoperative period to HCM. Pump replacement required coring of the ventricular muscle. Dilated end-stage hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can revert back to the original morphology on decompression.
متن کاملCardiomyopathies and anaesthesia
Cardiomyopathy is considered as a heart muscle disease of multiple aetiologies, unlike other cardiac diseases related to a definitive pathophysiology. With more and more research and with the advent of genetic analysis pin pointing the disease causing mutations, causative factors have been defined and classifications and definitions have changed over time. Patients with these conditions present...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Assist Device is a Viable Therapy in End Stage Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) therapy use is increasing rapidly in advanced heart failure (HF). Little data exists on the application of this therapy in patients with advanced HF due to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Altered ventricular geometry, thickened septum and reduced LV end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) in HCM may lead to increased suction events, arrhythmias and inflow cannula...
متن کاملSimultaneous onset of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy in identical middle-aged twins.
Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy is a primary myocardial disease which is characterised by left ventricular, or biventricular, dilatation and impaired contractility. The precise aetiology is unknown and the relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors is debated. We report two identical male twins of Caucasian origin with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy who presented within a f...
