Cardiomyopathy Disease States Flashcards
What is the most common CMO?
Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Dilated Cardiomyopathy is also referred to as _____
Congestive CMO
What is a disease that diffusely affects the myocardium, resulting in enlargement and/or ventricular dysfunction?
Cardiomyopathy
What are the three main categories of CMO?
Dilated CMO, Hypertrophic CMO (Obstructive & Non-Obstructive), and Restrictive/Infiltrative CMO.
Dilated CMO is known for its _____ and ______ systolic and diastolic function.
“Multi-Chamber” enlargement and “Decreased” systolic and diastolic function.
When evaluating 2-D echo of a patient with Dilated CMO what may be present due to the decreased flow pattern?
Spontaneous echo contrast
“Smoke”
What are the causes for Dilated CMO?
(Numerous) -Idiopathic -Ischemic; CAD -Infections/viral- AIDS, others -Toxic; Alcohol, cocaine Chemo-Adriamycin, others -Parasitic Diseases -Pregnancy (peripartum) -Hemochromatosis -Ventricular noncompaction
What are the clinical symptoms for Dilated CMO?
- Heart failure (pulmonary or systemic congestion)
- Low cardiac output/low BP
- Valvular regurgitation
- Arrythmias, afib
- Embolic events
What are the 2-D findings of DCM?
- Dilated chambers, increased volumes/mass, spherical shaped
- Normal to thinned wall thickness
- Reduced global systolic & diastolic function
- Reduced Co
- LV smoke
In M-Mode of DCM the increased EPSS is proportional to the _____
Reduced EF
On DCM M-Mode what does a B-Bump indicate?
Increased LVEDP
Typically >15 mmHg
With what CM is the double diamond pattern of MV on M-Mode associated with?
DCM
What are some other causes of DCM?
Long-standing HTN heart disease
LV non-compaction (honey comb apex; spongy)
(DCM) Aortic cusps that have a tapered appearance at closure vs. a crisp closure is due to what?
Reduced forward flow from poor systolic function; note reduced aortic root motion
Which CM is known for its hypertrophic, hyperdynamic, non-dilated left ventricle that is frequently, but not necessarily, associated with a left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO)?
HCMO
What is an inherited autosomal dominant disease of the myocardium?
HCMO
Does HCMO primarily affect diastolic or systolic function?
Diastolic Function
