Role of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators in the Treatment of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an important cardiovascular disease with sudden cardiac death as the most devastating presentation. Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) are the optimal therapy for prevention of sudden death from ventricular

Increased calcification by erythrophagocytosis in aortic valvular interstitial cells

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1469-1473, April 2025.
Abstract Background Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) progresses over time to severe aortic stenosis and eventually heart failure. Recent evidence indicates that intraleaflet haemorrhage (ILH) strongly promotes CAVD progression. However, it remains poorly understood how it mechanistically contributes to valvular calcification.

Myocardial inflammation is associated with impaired mitochondrial oxidative capacity in ischaemic cardiomyopathy

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1246-1255, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Myocardial inflammation and impaired mitochondrial oxidative capacity are hallmarks of heart failure (HF) pathophysiology. The extent of myocardial inflammation in patients suffering from ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) or dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and its association with mitochondrial energy metabolism are unknown.

A rare case of dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction caused by systolic anterior motion of an abnormal posterior mitral leaflet

open access: yesIHJ Cardiovascular Case Reports, 2018
Dynamic obstruction to left ventricular outflow in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy usually occurs when the anterior mitral leaflet moves forward in systole and approaches or contacts the ventricular septum.

Left ventricular flow from apex to base during systole and isovolumic relaxation in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and midventricular obstruction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The occurrence of a left ventricular anterograde flow velocity (maximal: 3·9m . s−1) is demonstrated in a 32-year-old patient with hypertrophic cardioinyopathy and midveniricular obstruction, beginning at early systole and persisting throughout the ...

Metabolic abnormalities and reprogramming in cats with naturally occurring hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1256-1270, April 2025.
Abstract Background and aims The heart is a metabolic organ rich in mitochondria. The failing heart reprograms to utilize different energy substrates, which increase its oxygen consumption. These adaptive changes contribute to increased oxidative stress.

A Rare Case of Ebstein’s Anomaly with Biventricular Noncompaction

open access: yesJournal of Indian College of Cardiology
Ebstein’s anomaly is a rare cyanotic congenital heart disease, which can present with right heart failure when associated with septal defects and/or right ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

Characterization and Normal Measurements of the Left Ventricular Outflow Tract by ECG-gated Cardiac CT: Implications for Disorders of the Outflow Tract and Aortic Valve. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Studies suggest that electrocardiographically gated coronary computed tomographic angiography provides a clear definition of the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), and normal LVOT morphology may not be round, as assumed when
