HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY AND MYOCARDIAL CRYPT OF THE LEFT VENTRICLE
First time, myocardial clefty were described more than 20 years ago in autopsy of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCMP): the “fissure” along muscle fibers in interventricular septum.

Myocardial Perfusion Defects in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Mutation Carriers
Background Impaired myocardial blood flow (MBF) in the absence of epicardial coronary disease is a feature of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Although most evident in hypertrophied or scarred segments, reduced MBF can occur in apparently normal segments.

Autopsy of a patient with restrictive cardiomyopathy with and MYH7 mutation
Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is a rare type of primary myocardial disease, and its pathological features remain unclear. We report the case of a 78-year-old Japanese woman with RCM and MHY7 mutation who died of heart failure 13 years after the diagnosis. Upon autopsy, focal myocyte amorphous degeneration positive for ubiquitin was revealed, as well

Genetic determinants of clinical phenotype in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Background Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited cardiovascular disease that affects approximately one in 500 people. HCM is a recognized genetic disorder most often caused by mutations involving myosin-binding protein C (MYBPC3)

Mutations in the human MYH7 gene, encoding a slow skeletal muscle/β-cardiac myosin heavy chain, cause different types of myopathies. The nematode model Caenorhabditis elegans has frequently been employed to study the molecular and physiological ...

A novel mutation of the MYH7 gene in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic disorder characterized by asymmetric cardiac hypertrophy due to inherited mutations in genes that encode sarcomeric proteins. MYH7, which encodes β-myosin heavy chain, is among the most commonly mutated genes in patients affected by HCM.

MYH7 heterozygous mutations are common genetic causes of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). HCM is characterized by hypertrophy of the left ventricle and diastolic dysfunction.

Ebstein's anomaly may be caused by mutations in the sarcomere protein gene MYH7 [PDF]
Ebstein's anomaly is a rare congenital heart malformation characterised by adherence of the septal and posterior leaflets of the tricuspid valve to the underlying myocardium.

Background Alterations in the MYH7 gene can cause cardiac and skeletal myopathies. MYH7-related skeletal myopathies are extremely rare, and the vast majority of causal variants in the MYH7 gene are predicted to alter the rod domain of the of ß-cardiac ...

Intrinsic MYH7 expression regulation contributes to tissue level allelic imbalance in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [PDF]
HCM, the most common inherited cardiac disease, is mainly caused by mutations in sarcomeric genes. More than a third of the patients are heterozygous for mutations in the MYH7 gene encoding for the β-myosin heavy chain. In HCM-patients, expression of the
