What is cardiomyopathy?
Primary disease of the myocardium, excluding myocardial dysfunction due to CAD, HTN, CHD, or valvular disease
All cardiomyopathies can be classified according to what? In what order?
- 1st physiology
- Etiology once known
What are characteristics of dilated CMO? 3
- Dilation - 4 chambers
- LV S+D dysfunction
- +/- RV dysfunciton
What are characteristics of hypertrophic CMO? 3
- ASH
- LVH
- Hyperdynamic and non-dilated LV
What are characteristics of restrictive CMO 3
- Decreased LV compliance (Restrictive filling DDFxn)
- CHF
- Systolic function may be preserved
What are characteristics of other CMOS besides dilated CMO, Hypertrophic CMO, and restrictive CMO? 3
- Arrhythmogenic RV dysplasia
- LV non-compaction
- Idiopathic
What is the abbreviation of Dilated CMO?
DCM
What is the abbreviation of hypertrophic CMO?
HCM
What is the abbreviation of Hypertrophic obstructive CMO?
HOCM
What is the abbreviation of restrictive CMO?
RCM
What is HCM?
Disease of the myocardium characterized by the presence of LVH in the absence of another cause
What is the etiology of HCM?
Inherited disease: X linked autosomal dominant - scan relatives
What is the most common genetic CMO?
HCM
What is the pathophysiology of HCM?
Increased muscle mass due to myofibril disarray
The mutated gene in HCM affects what? What does this lead to?
- The contractile elements of the sacromere
- Leads to inappropriate hypertrophy of the muscle
What are S/S of HCM? 5
- Possible asymptomatic
- Exercise intolerance
- Syncope/ fainting (HOCM)
- Angina
- Increased sudden risk of death
What does the ECG look like for HCM? 2
- Arrhythmias
- AV blocks and bundle branch blocks
In terms of HCM, what are some arrhythmias seen with ECG?
A fib- high prevalence
What is the AV node location for HCM?
IVS
What is often the first clinical manifestation of HCM?
Increased risk of sudden death
What does decreased exercise intolerance look like for HCM?
SOB and fatigue
HCM can be divided into two sub groups based on what?
Whether the hypertrophy is causing any LV outflow obstruction or not
In terms of HCM, Hypertrophy involving what is the most common and most likely to have an outflow obstruction?
Basal anterior septum
In terms of HCM if the hemodynamic effect of the LVOT PG is above 30 mmHg what does this mean? What if its not?
- Yes: Obstructive (HOCM)
- No: Non obstructive
Non-obstructive HCM has a potential for what?
LVOT obstruction to develop at rest over time
What needs to be done with every patient with HCM?
Valsalva
What are two types of HOCM?
- Dynamic
- Latent obstruction
What is a dynamic obstruction?
Obstruction occurs when MV leaflets come in contact with thick IVS
What is Latent obstruction?
Discoverable on effect or provoking maneuvers such as Valsalva
What are some HCM echo features in Parasternal? 2
- Wall thickness (IVS and PW)
- Potential for SAM
How big should the IVS be in a patient with HCM?
IVS > 15mm
What is some apical echo features in apical?
- Presence/ distribution of hypertrophy
- Assess for SAM (5C/3C)
What are some things we can do to get a better 2D assessment of HCM?
- Use off axis views if needed to see the full thickness walls clearly for measurement
- Colour plus 2D to assess where aliasing occurs
What is needed for a good assessment of HCM?
Good endocardial definition
