Multiple coronary-left ventricular fistulae associated with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: coronary angiogram compared to coronary scan and cardiac magnetic resonance scan.

چکیده
We report the case of a 74 year-old woman admitted for coronary angiogram because of widespread electrocardiographic repolarization abnormalities. Her past medical history was mainly paroxystic atrial fibrillation. Her cardiovascular risk factors were age and smoking. Echocardiography revealed apical left ventricular hypertrophy. Physical examination was normal. Surprisingly, the coronary angiogram revealed multiple fistulae from both left and right coronary system (Fig. 1A, B). These fistulae were so deve-

متن کاملLeft ventricular hypertrophy diagnosed after a stroke: a case report
BACKGROUND Stroke is a recognized clinical course of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This interesting case showed notable difference on the electrocardiogram of a patient 4 months prior to suffering a stroke and 10 days after suffering a stroke. The pre-stroke electrocardiogram showed atrial fibrillation with a narrow QRS complex, while the post-stroke electrocardiogram showed marked left ventricu...
متن کاملMid-Ventricular Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Associated with an Apical Aneurysm: Evaluation of Possible Causes of Aneurysm 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 ...
