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 ...

Extreme hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [PDF]
A 21 year old Jamaican woman with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) was referred for sudden death risk assessment. The initial diagnosis of HCM was made at the age of 13 years and mild exertional dyspnoea has occurred since age 15 (New York Heart Association functional class II), but without syncope or chest pain. There is no …

Cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure: from the case to review of literature [PDF]
In response to an increased workload due to physiological or pathological stimuli, the heart may undergo a process of growth with increased muscle mass called cardiac hypertrophy. It is a particular mechanism of long term compensation used by the heart

Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is caused by mutations in a number of genes. Its prevalence is 0.2% to 0.6%.This review is based on publications retrieved by a selective literature search and on the authors' clinical experi- ence.70% of patients with HCM suffer from the obstructive type of the condition, clinically characterized by highly dynamic and

Lipid droplets (LDs) protect the heart against lipotoxicity in cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury; however, they are insufficient to prevent cardiomyocyte death. Seipin plays a central role in the insufficient formation of LDs, subsequent lipotoxicity, and myocardial injury during cardiac I/R injury.

The Phospholamban (PLN) R9C mutation reduces SERCA2a binding, increasing calcium recycling and baseline contractility. However, the excess of free PLN promotes pentamer formation, limiting phosphorylation and blunting β‐adrenergic signaling. Under cardiac stress, enhanced functional demands overwhelm proteostasis in PLN R9C cells, leading to misfolded ...

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 ...

Cardiac evaluation of young athletes: Time for a risk-based approach? [PDF]
Pre-participation cardiovascular screening (PPCS) is recommended by several scientific and sporting organizations on the premise that early detection of cardiac disease provides a platform for individualized risk assessment and management; which has been
