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 ...

In this paper we propose a new metric to replace the Euclidean norm in c-means clustering procedures. On the basis of the robust statistic and the in1uence function, we claim that the proposed new metric is more robust than the Euclidean norm. We then create two new clustering methods called the alternative hard c-means (AHCM) and alternative fuzzy c-means (AFCM) clustering algorithms. These al...

Background Unexplainable giant T-wave inversions in the precordial leads with apical wall thickness <15 mm has been reported. These patients cannot be diagnosed to have apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) according to the current criteria. The objective of this study was to evaluate the apical morphology of subjects with giant T-wave inversion in the absence of apical wall thickness>15 mm...

PURPOSE To investigate the differences between clinical aspects and evolution of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) seen in Rio de Janeiro and the Oriental form, which was the first described. METHODS In 156 patients with AHCM diagnosed in our institution, there were 13 (8.34%) with the apical form of the disease, whose clinical settings, diagnostic procedures and evolution were studie...

Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) is a known entity since its first introduction by Sakamoto and Yamaguchi. However, unlike classical (HCM), it less explored in terms of associated diagnosis long-term outcomes. Given the increased availability utilization ultra-sophisticated cardiac imaging modalities, AHCM will be increasingly recognized as distinct, clinically significant variant HCM....

Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a rare form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that involves thickening of the distal portion of the left ventricular wall. Most commonly seen in the Japan, with a prevalence rate of about 15% of all HCM patient, its incidence in the USA is approximately 3% of HCM cases. We report a case of a 46-year-old woman with history of hypertension who presented to emerg...

TOPIC: Cardiovascular Disease TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) is an uncommon variant of (HCM). Significantly, sudden cardiac death less likely to occur in patients with isolated AHCM, and overall cardiovascular morbidity may be common than other HCM phenotypes. Available outcome studies are insufficiently powered for robust con...

Plastic pyrolysis is a solution for the dilemma of enormous plastic waste accumulation and an alternative source energy, which converts wastes into wide range fuels chemicals by thermal decomposition. The concept widely validated applied at lab-scale in terms characterisation process its by-products. On other hand, numerical modelling optimizing sake developing efficient implementation industri...

expertise of a group as a grounds for self-governance. The new literature on professions also notes that they employ universities in their struggle for governance, focus their control projects on the state, and constantly try to invade other groups’ professional territory.” Id. at 104. Once anchored in, change is difficult to effectuate. “One can see that, once in existence, the organization of...
