Chest radiography revealed cardiomegaly with massive pleural effusion. Serum lactate, pyruvate, and brain natriuretic peptide concentrations were elevated. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a restrictive pattern of transmitral flow, although ...

Biventricular chamber size and systolic function are usually normal or nearnormal until later stages of the disease. Affecting either or both ventricles, RCM may cause signs or symptoms of left or right heart failure. Arrhythmias and cond...
متن کاملIncremental prognostic value of restrictive filling pattern in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a Doppler echocardiographic study.
AIM To study frequency and incremental prognostic value of restrictive filling pattern (RFP) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). METHODS AND RESULTS Eighty-seven consecutive HCM patients (64% men, mean age 45 +/- 19 years) underwent physical and Doppler echocardiographic evaluation at our centre from March 1993 to February 2001.

Doppler echocardiographic study was used as a main modality of diagnosis and cardiac catheterization confirmed the diagnosis of idiopathic restrictive cardiomyopathy. We express the contribution of clinical findings and appropriate diagnostic measures in app...
