Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in Pakistan: electrocardiographic, echocardiographic and myocardial scintigraphic features.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a recently recognised entity, with typical electrocardiographic, echocardiographic and myocardial scintigraphic features. Thallium imaging is more sensitive than echocardiography, but electrocardiogram appears to be an important clue to its diagnosis which shows changes in the mid precordial leads in most of the patients.

Correlation of Electrocardiographic Changes with Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Findings in Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
BACKGROUND Electrocardiogram is the initial test in the investigation of heart disease. Electrocardiographic changes in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have no set pattern, and correlates poorly with echocardiographic findings. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging has been gaining momentum for better assessment of hypertrophy, as well as the detection of myocardial fibrosis. OBJECTIVES To correlate...
متن کاملWhy does apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have a favorable outcome than non-apical types?: Cardiac magnetic resonance and echocardiographic findings from 350 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Background Apical HCM tends to have a favorable outcome compared to other types. The presence and extent of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), reflecting myocardial fibrosis, is closely correlated with increased cardiac mortality and strongly associated with surrogates of arrhythmia and subsequent sudden cardiac death. This study sough to investigate the difference in cardiac magnetic resonance...
متن کاملApical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in a Case with Chest Pain and Family History of Sudden Cardiac Death: A Case Report
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 ...

Hypertrophy From Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Reddy et al1 regarding a case with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The authors said that the 2D echocardiograph obtained from this patient indicated hypertrophy of the apex and that 201-Tl scintigraphic imaging demonstrated an increased count in the apical segment. However, because there ...
متن کاملA case of asymmetrical apical hypertrophy which is a form of hypertrophic nonobstructive cardiomyopathy with giant negative T-waves.
Clinical, hemodynamic, electrocardiographic (ECG), echocardiographic, left ventricular (LV), and coronary angiographic (CA) findings are reported in a case with apical hypertrophy (AH), a form of hypertrophic nonobstructive cardiomyopathy (HNCM). The most striking symptom was chest pain and the most conspicuous electrocardiographic finding consisted of giant negative T waves, reaching an amplit...
