Nuevos tratamientos farmacológicos para la miocardiopatía hipertrófica: foco en inhibidores de miosina

Rev. chil. cardiol; 43 (1), 2024
La miocardiopatía hipertrófica (MCH), definida clínicamente como una hipertrofia ventricular izquierda no explicada por sobrecarga hemodinámica ni por infiltración, es la enfermedad miocárdica hereditaria más común. El tratamiento actual se basa en terapias de reducción septal en casos de Miocar...

Miocardiopatía Hipertrófica en ausencia de criterios de hipertrofia. Serie de casos

Rev. chil. cardiol; 42 (3), 2023
La miocardiopatía hipertrófica (MCH) es la miocardiopatía hereditaria más frecuente, su principal expresión fenotípica consiste en hipertrofia ventricular izquierda (HVI) en ausencia de condiciones de carga que la justifiquen. Cuando existe una variante genética patogénica se denomina MCH sarcomÃ...

Genes frequently associated with sudden death in primary hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Arch. cardiol. Méx; 90 (1), 2020
Abstract Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy without apparent cardiac justification. Sudden cardiac death may be the first manifestation of the disease. It occurs mainly in adulthood and can be seen in childhood and adolescence where genetic origin predomina...

Cardiac Alterations in Patients with Familial Lipodystrophy

Arq. bras. cardiol; 114 (2), 2020
Abstract Familial lipodystrophy is a rare genetic condition in which individuals have, besides metabolic changes and body fat deposits, a type of cardiomyopathy that has not been well studied. Many of the patients develop cardiovascular changes, the most commonly reported in the literature being the expr...

Strain Analysis of Left Ventricular Function in the Association of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and Systemic Arterial Hypertension

Arq. bras. cardiol; 113 (4), 2019
Abstract Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common heart disease of genetic origin in the world population, with a prevalence of at least 1/500. The association with systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) is not uncommon, as it affects approximately 25% of the world population. Most...

Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: What has Changed in The Guidelines?

Arq. bras. cardiol; 110 (6), 2018
Abstract Background: The new European Society of Cardiology guidelines for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) define the estimation of sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk as an integral part of clinical management. An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is recommended (class IIa) when the risk is &#...

Diferencias electrocardiográficas en miocardiopatía hipertrófica apical e infarto apical sin elevación del segmento ST
Electrocardiographic differences between apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and apical non-ST segment myocardial infarction

Medicina (B.Aires); 78 (2), 2018
La miocardiopatía hipertrófica apical (MCHA) es una variante fenotípica dentro de las miocardiopatías hipertróficas que presenta alteraciones de la repolarización ventricular. Estos cambios electrocardiográficos pueden simular en muchos casos un infarto anterior, lo que dispara una serie de estudi...

Correlation of Electrocardiographic Changes with Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Findings in Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Arq. bras. cardiol; 110 (1), 2018
Abstract Background: Electrocardiogram is the initial test in the investigation of heart disease. Electrocardiographic changes in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have no set pattern, and correlates poorly with echocardiographic findings. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging has been gaining momentum for bette...

Influência da fibrilação atrial na história natural da cardiomiopatia hipertrófica

Arq. bras. cardiol; 62 (5), 1994
PURPOSE--To evaluate the influence of atrial fibrillation in the natural history of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. METHODS--Eighty-eight patients under ambulatory treatment were studied. Most of them presented the asymmetric type of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (87.5 per cent). Group I (77 cases) was formed...
