Restrictive And Other Cardiomyopathies Flashcards
What does this image represent?
Dip and plateau/ square root sign
Why is there a different in waveform for the two?
Top is elevated filling pressures and the bottom is normal
What does this image represent? And what features are present? 4
- Amyloidosis
- LVH present
- Speckled myocardium
- Small pericardial effusion
What does this image represent? What is evident symptoms?
- Amyloidosis
- LVH and myocardial speckling evident
What is the difference between the waveforms?
- Left: Normal heart 10cm/s
- Amyloid - S’ = 4cm/s
RWMA don’t correspond to what in sarcoidosis?
Coronary arteries
What does this image represent?
RCM- HES
What does this image represent?
Fabry disease
What does this image represent?
ARVC/D
What does this image represent?
LV non-compaction
What does this image represent?
LV non-compaction
Look at the trabecular
What does this image represent?
Non-compaction of the LV
What does this image represent?
Non-compaction of LV
What is restrictive cardiomyopathy RCM?
A type of cardiomyopathy characterized by increased resistance to ventricular filling due to increased myocardial stiffness, decreased compliance, or both
What is RCM associated with? 2
Increased filling pressures such as:
1. Increased LVED
2. Increased LAP
What is the etiology of RCM?
Abnormal infiltration, storage or fibrosis within the myocardium
What are non-infiltrative restrictive CMO causes? 5
- Idiopathic CMO
- Familial CMO
- Hypertrophic CMO
- Scleroderma (scars in the heart)
- Diabetic CMO Fibrosis
What is causes of infiltrative RCM? 4
- Amyloidosis
- Sarcoidosis
- Hurler’s disease
- Loeffler’s disease
What is causes of storage disease RCM?5
- Endomyocardial fibroelastosis
- Carcinoid heart disease
- Radiation
- Chemo effects
- HES
Hypertrophic CMO is a separate class from RCM but can cause what? Therefoer it can also be considered what?
- Restrictive physiology
- Non-infiltrative form of RCM
How do we get a “dip and plateau”/ “square root” sign? 4
- Marked increase in LA Pressure
- Rapid rise in LV pressure with early diastolic filling
- Rapid equalization of LV and LA pressure
- Abrupt termination of early diastolic filling
Along with dip and plateau and square root, what is also seen with RCM filling pressures? 2
- Constrictive pericarditis
- Lots of early diastolic filling, but almost no late diastolic filling
What are some RCM clinical findings? 4
- DDfxn =HFpEF
- ECG
- CXR
- Ausculations
What is the clinical finding of HFpEF for RCM?
HF due to elevated LVEDP + LAP
What is the Clinical findings of ECG with RCM?
Arrhythmias such as:
1. A-fib (Common)
2. PVCs
What is clinical findings of CXR for RCM? 2
- Cardiomegaly
- Pulmonary congestion
What are clinical auscultations findings seen with RCM? 2
S3 and S4
What are some signs of left sided heart failure? 9
- Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea
- Elevated pulmonary wedge pressure
- Pulmonary congestion
- Restlessness
- Confusion
- Tachycardia
- Exertional dyspnea
- Fatigue
- Cyanosis
What are some right sided heart failure symptoms? 8
- Fatigue
- Increase in peripheral venous pressure
- Ascites
- Enlarged liver and spleen
- May be secondary to chronic pulmonary problems
- Distended jugular veins
- Anorexia and complications of GI distress
- Dependent edema
Most infiltrative disease affect what? Except what?
- LV
- ARVD
ARVD is typically associated with what side of the heart?
Right side
What are RCM echo findings? 4 (Anatomy)
- Bi-atrial enlargement
- +/- LVH
- Normal LV chamber size
- DDfxn grade 1-3
Why is there Bi-atrial enlargement for RCM?
RCM mimics constrictive pericarditis, but bi-atrial enlargement indicates RCM
DDFxn of RCM is dependent on what?
- Severity
- May be normal funciton in early stages
What is the role of echo in terms of assessment for RCM? 3
Assess:
1. Chamber size and function
2. Degree of diastolic function
3. Degree or MR or TR
What do we need to determine with echo for RCM? 4
- RVSP
- RCM vs constrictive pericarditis
- Degree of bi-atrial enlargement
- Presence of pericardial effusion
What are the medical treatments for RCM? 2
- CHF drugs such as diuretics and ACE inhibitors
- Anticoagulants (A-fib)
What are surgical treatments for RCM? 3
- Pacemaker
- Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)
- Cardiac transplant (poor long term results)
What are five restrictive CMO types?
- Amyloidosis
- Sarcoidosis
- Hemochromatosis
- HES
- Fabry disease
What is amyloidoses?
Infiltrative disease characterized by the deposition of amyloid fibrils in the extracellular space of various tissues
