Exercise Echocardiography in Asymptomatic HCM
نویسنده
چکیده
METHODS We included 426 HCM patients (44 14 years; 78% men) undergoing exercise echocardiography, excluding hypertensive heart disease of elderly, ejection fraction <50% and invasive therapy (myectomy or alcohol ablation) during follow-up. Clinical, echocardiographic (LV thickness, LVOT gradient, and MR) and exercise variables (percent of age-sex predicted metabolic equivalents [METs] and heart rate recovery [HRR] at 1 min post-exercise) were recorded. A composite endpoint of death, appropriate internal defibrillator discharge, and admission for congestive heart failure was recorded.

Elevated high-sensitivity troponin T levels are associated with adverse cardiac remodelling and myocardial fibrosis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
INTRODUCTION Clinical manifestations of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) range from asymptomatic disease to early-onset heart failure and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Risk stratification for SCD remains imperfect and novel risk markers are needed. The aim of our study was to evaluate the association of elevated high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T levels (hs-cTnT) with the severity of disease ex...
متن کاملLeft ventricular filling pressure assessed by exercise TDI was correlated with early HFNEF in patients with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
BACKGROUND Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients are more susceptible to suffer from heart failure with normal ejection fraction (HFNEF). Therefore, it is critical to evaluate the relationship between left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP) and HFNEF, even if a large proportion of HCM patients have normal LVFP at rest. The objective was to assess the correlation between exercise tissue Do...
متن کاملApical Left Ventricular Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Case Report
Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (apical HCM) is a rare variant of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with a prevalence of 1% 2% in Asian population and carries a benign prognosis. It is usually silent in early stages and manifests in adults with a suspicion of typical ECG changes of giant T wave inversion in left precordial leads. Transthoracic echocardiography is the mainstay of non-invasive diagn...
متن کاملPrevalence of exercise-induced left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in symptomatic patients with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Resting left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) occurs in 25% of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and is an important cause of symptoms and disease progression. The prevalence and clinical significance of exercise induced LVOTO in patients with symptomatic non-obstructive HCM is uncertain. METHODS AND RESULTS 87 symptomatic patients (43.3 (13.7) years, 67....
متن کاملIschaemia as a cause of LVOT gradient reversal in HCM
We present the case of a previously fit 84-year-old female with long-standing systemic hypertension and the echo phenotype of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) - asymmetrical septal hypertrophy, significant resting left ventricular (LV) outflow obstruction and mitral regurgitation (MR) secondary to systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve. Valsalva provocation caused an increase in LV...
