In this edition of Circulation, Spirito and coworkers present a retrospective study of a large cohort of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in which they compare the prognostic significance of neurally mediated (vasovagal) faints and unexplained syncope.1 Although neither symptom was significantly associated with sudden-death risk, subgroup analysis revealed that unexplained syncope was ...

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 available treatment modalities for hypertrophic scars and keloids have very little success. Surgical treatment of these lesions without adjuvant therapy is also associated with high recurrence rate. Hypertrophic scars and keloids are the results of a series of cellular and molecular changes which their identification can guide us toward new treatment modalities which may decrease the ...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a relatively common familial cardiac disease, with a broad clinical spectrum, with an important premature cardiovascular risk, including sudden death, but also with incapacitating symptoms, especially in young patients. Because of its heterogeneous clinical course and expression, HCM represents a management dilemma for cardiologists and other practitioners, ...

As hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a common cause of sudden deaths among athletes, differentiating this condition from the non-pathological "athlete's heart" presents an important challenge.

a three-month-old male native puppy with lameness, metaphyseal swelling, pain, depression,inappetence and variable pyrexia was diagnosed as having hypertrophic osteodystrophy (hod) based onradiologic examination. the hemogram and biochemical profiles were within normal limits. radiologicexamination revealed a radiolucent zone in the metaphyses and a radiopaque band near the physes of theappendi...

Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited cardiomyopathy. An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) an efficient way of preventing sudden cardiac death in these patients.
 Aim: Diagnosis and treatment genetically associated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
 Case Report: We present a 28-year patient with history tachycardia, dizziness, transient chest...
