نویسندگان
چکیده
A patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, syncope, and frequent ventricular tachycardia was monitored during a syncopal episode. An unrecordable blood pressure and the loss of a left ventricular outflow tract murmur without evidence of arrhythmia suggested a primary haemodynamic mechanism such as reduction in left ventricular volume.

Ventricular tachyarrhythmias are common in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that may lead to syncope and sudden death. Bradyarrhythmia such as atrioventricular conduction disturbance, a relatively rare complication associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, may also cause syncope and sudden death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Although faintness, syncope, and sudden death are common in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, their cause has not been well documented. The occurrence of ventricular asystole causing syncope after exercise is described in one patient. The elucidation of the disturbance of rhythm may, therefore, be ofgreat importance, as sudden death may be avoided in these patients by the prophylactic us...

A 10 year old girl with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) developed high grade atrioventricular (A-V) block unexpectedly, which instantly led to syncope; she required a permanent pacemaker. High grade A-V block, a rare complication of HCM, relates closely to syncope or sudden death in this disease and if progressive the use of cardiac pacing should be considered without delay.

The aim of this study was to determine if there is impaired reflex venoconstriction in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and whether this is related to a history of syncope or exercise hypotension. 2. Thirty percent of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have exercise-induced hypotension associated with a failure of arteriolar constriction. Impaired venoconstriction could exace...
