Acute myocardial ischemia with prolonged left ventricular dyskinesia and mural thrombus formation in asymmetric septal hypertrophy.

چکیده
A 52-year-old man had longstanding hypertension and asymemtric septal hypertrophy and normal major coronary arteries. His acute anterior wall ischemia gave rise to transient Q waves and septoapical dyskinesia, complicated by mural thrombus formation. Follow-up revealed a gradual and complete recovery of echocardiographic left ventricular function with total disappearance of mural thrombi and of electrocardiographic Q waves. Acute myocardial ischemia can cause prolonged electrical and mechanical stunning which can lead to mural thrombus formation.

Mid-ventricular obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (MVOHCM) is a rare type of cardiomyopathy, associated with apical aneurysm formation in some cases. We report a patient presenting with ventricular fibrillation, an ECG with an above normal ST segment, and elevated levels of cardiac enzymes but normal coronary arteries. Left ventriculography revealed a left ventricular obstruction without ...

One hundred five unselected and consecutive patients were prospectively studies after acute transmural myocardial infarction to assess the incidence of mural thrombus formation and to relate the presence of thrombus to patient outcome in terms of systemic embolic events, functional class and survival. In 87 patients, optimal quality two-dimensional echocardiographic studies were obtained and we...
متن کاملHemodynamic Consequences of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy with Midventricular Obstruction: Apical Aneurysm and Thrombus Formation
BACKGROUND Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with midventricular hypertrophy is an uncommon phenotypic variant of the disease. Midventricular hypertrophy predisposes to intracavitary obstruction and downstream hemodynamic sequelae. CASE REPORT We present a case of HCM with midventricular hypertrophy and obstruction diagnosed after a CT scan of the abdomen incidentally revealed a filling defec...
متن کاملVarieties of right ventricular diastolic function in patients with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
We examined whether differences in the location of myocardial hypertrophy influence the right ventricular diastolic function in patients with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy using cineangiography. Biplane right ventriculography was performed in 34 subjects (normal = 14, asymmetric septal hypertrophy = 9, apical hypertrophy = 11) during cardiac catheterization. In patients with asymm...

Left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) is one of the most important complications of myocardial infarction LVA is strictly defined as a distinct area of abnormal left ventricular diastolic contour with systolic dyskinesia or paradoxical bulging. LVA usually results from myocardial infarction. Other rare aetiologies of LVA include hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, Chagas' disease, sarcoidosis, congenital LV...
