Pathological features of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy wRithout asymmetrical septal hypertrophy

چکیده
In a heart with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy without asymmetrical septal hypertrophy the number of transmural myocytes, the mean size of myocytes, and the percentage area of interstitial space were similar in the ventricular septum and left ventricular posterior wall, whereas in a reported series of 14 hearts with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with asymmetrical septal hypertrophy the number of transmural myocytes was greater in the ventricular septum than in the left ventricular posterior wall. In hearts with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy without asymmetrical septal hypertrophy the mean size of myocytes was significantly greater than that of normal hearts, but the number of transmural myocytes was not increased. The extent and distribution pattern of myocardial fibre disarray and fibrosis in the left ventricle were similar in hearts with hypertrophic myopathy whether or not asymmetrical septal hypertrophy was present.

متن کاملEchocardiographic, haemodynamic, and angiographic correlations in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Attempts to identify a pathognomonic abnormality in 'idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis' date back to the time of its recognition. We examined the echocardiographic, haemodynamic, and angiographic features of 14 consecutive patients in whom the clinical diagnosis was supported by the presence of both asymmetrical septal hypertrophy and systolic anterior movement of the anterior leaflet ...
متن کاملHypertrophic cardiomyopathy associated with sudden death during marathon racing.
An experienced marathon runner died suddenly during a competitive race. At necropsy, ventricular hypertrophy but no asymmetrical septal hypertrophy was found. Histological studies showed features of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The coronary arteries were normal. We propose that the runner died from myocardial ischaemia, precipitated by marathon running on a background of hypertrophic cardiomyop...

ALTHOUGH TWO NINETEENTH CENTURY French pathologists1 2 and an early twentieth century German pathologist3 described cardiac pathological findings compatible with what we know today as "6asymmetrical hypertrophy of the heart," it remained for Donald Teare to bring attention to this entity in 1958.4 In nine cases of sudden death, Teare described a marked hypertrophy and thickening of the interven...
متن کاملHypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a common disease with a good prognosis. Five year experience of a district general hospital.
The manifestations and workload in a district general hospital cardiac unit of 39 unselected cases of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy over a five year period are reported. The "typical" form with asymmetrical septal hypertrophy and a gradient was found in only one third of patients, serious ventricular arrhythmias were probably no more common than in the general population, and no deaths occurred d...
