Global extracellular volume (ECVglobal) in HCM - the "next generation" test for risk in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background CMR LGE detects myocardial tissue abnormalities in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and aids in risk stratification, predicting in particular heart failure and to a lesser extent, sudden death. However, LGE quantifies only the area of focal fibrosis only, missing diffuse fibrosis and assuming all LGE is the same. We hypothesized that the total left ventricular fibrosis burden, as measured by the mean global myocardial extracellular volume (ECVglobal) using 16 segment T1 mapping, would be a superior marker.

Investigation of Polymorphisms in Non-Coding Region of Human Mitochondrial DNA in 31 Iranian Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) Patients
The D-loop region is a hot spot for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) alterations, containing two hypervariable segments, HVS-I and HVS-II. In order to identify polymorphic sites and potential genetic background accounting for Hypertrophic CardioMyopathy (HCM) disease, the complete non-coding region of mtDNA from 31 unrelated HCM patients and 45 normal controls were sequenced. The sequences were aligne...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common genetic cardiovascular disease, which is caused by a multitude of mutations in genes encoding proteins of the cardiac sarcomere (1). Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) is an uncommon type of HCM. The sudden cardiac death is less likely to occur in the patients inflicted with AHCM (2). Herein, we presented the case of a 29-year-old man ...

Introduction: Accurate delineation of myocardial fibrosis in Late Gadolinium Enhancement on Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (LGE-CMR) has a crucial role in the assessment and risk stratification of HCM patients. As this is time-consuming and requires expertise, automation can be essential in accelerating this process. This study aims to use Unet-based deep learning methods to automate the mentioned ...

Epidural anesthesia for cesarean section in a patient with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Aim and Background: The pathophysiologic changes of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy is complex and the physiologic changes of pregnancy and anesthesia for cesarean section have a great effect in the hemodynamic and it can even lead to maternal death. We report a 21-year pregnant woman with HCM who were candi...

Background Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is a common finding in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), and its extent correlates with clinical parameters such as ventricular tachycardia and sudden cardiac death. While LGE has been shown to reflect focal replacement fibrosis, recently optimized T1 mapping techniques have allowed for the quantific...
