Acute Left Ventricular Ballooning: Tools to Differentiate Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy with Outflow Obstruction from Neurohumoral Takotsubo Syndrome

open access: yesReviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Despite considerable interest in the syndrome of acute left ventricular (LV) ballooning, its pathophysiology has remained ill-defined. In this review, we explore observational data describing two etiologies of acute LV ballooning: neurohumoral classic ...

Echocardiographic Changes Following Surgical Myectomy in Severely Symptomatic Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Insights From the SPIRIT‐HCM Study

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background In obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, myectomy improves symptoms, quality of life, and left ventricular (LV) outflow tract gradients. We prospectively evaluated the temporal changes in various echo parameters after myectomy.

Role of modifying genes on the severity of rare mutation of MYH7 gene in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an autosomal dominant disorder due to mutations in sacromeric genes with variable penetrance. Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is a major complication of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.

Disopyramide Revisited for Treatment of Symptomatic Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Efficacy and Safety in Patients Treated for at Least 5 Years

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Disopyramide is used to treat heart failure symptoms in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with known medium‐term efficacy and safety, while long‐term outcomes are unknown. Methods and Results A total of 92 consecutive

Differences in microRNA-29 and Pro-fibrotic Gene Expression in Mouse and Human Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2019
Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is characterized by myocyte hypertrophy and fibrosis. Studies in two mouse models (R92W-TnT/R403Q-MyHC) at early HCM stage revealed upregulation of endothelin (ET1) signaling in both mutants, but TGFβ ...

Heart disease in infants of diabetic mothers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Congenital anomalies occur more commonly in infants born to diabetic mothers, and cardiac defects predominate. Although respiratory problems are also frequently found in those infants, they need to be differentiated from cardiovascular problems that ...

Self- and Goal-Directed Valsalva Maneuver vs Exercise in Eliciting Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction

open access: yesJACC: Advances
Background: In symptomatic patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), eliciting left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) is critical. A self-directed Valsalva (SDV) and exercise (EX) are frequent tools used to unmask obstruction in HCM ...

Syndrome of Reversible Cardiogenic Shock and Left Ventricular Ballooning in Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background Cardiogenic shock from most causes has unfavorable prognosis. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) can uncommonly present with apical ballooning and shock in association with sudden development of severe and unrelenting left ventricular (LV ...

Real‐World Observations in Patients With Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Treated With Mavacamten: Evidence of Favorable Disease Modification

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Mavacamten is commercially approved for use in symptomatic patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This study evaluated its real‐world impact on symptoms, echocardiographic changes, and the need for septal reduction therapy in ...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in athletes [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Cardiology Review, 2017
The diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can be challenging in the athlete. A morphologically mild phenotype of the condition may mimic physiological left ventricular hypertrophy and requires careful evaluation of the athlete with an array of clinical tools.
