Several distinct cardiac morphologies have been identified (Figure 4). In asymmetrical septal hypertrophy, the hypertrophy primarily affects the anterior septum (Panel 1), however, the LV wall ...

Other patterns of LVH in HCM include non-septal asymmetric hypertrophy, the apical form and the less frequently observed symmetric and concentric pattern.2 When WT is increased in the anterolateral ...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM; n=31; median age 50 (range 19–74), 71% male). All patients met previously described diagnostic criteria.16 Seventy-one per cent of patients had an asymmetrical septal ...

As it has more than 4 decades of experience, consistent results in the longer term and it is more effective in reducing the gradient (eliminates the gradient in >90% of the cases), the European ...

OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to determine MR and cine MR characteristics of asymmetric septal hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and to correlate MR and cine MR features with the severity of left ...

Asymmetric cell division (ACD) gives rise to two daughter cells with different fates after mitosis and is a fundamental process for generating cell diversity and for the maintenance of the stem cell ...

The pattern of hypertrophy was asymmetric septal in 48 (64%), apical in 22 (29%), and concentric in 5 (7%). Fifty-one patients (68%) had non-obstructive HCM and MWT was 20.2 (4.6) mm. An apical ...

It is suggested that hypertrophy results from reduced contractile function, but studies of myocyte function in patients with mutations in sarcomere protein genes are contradictory. Nevertheless, ...
