Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Guide
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a complex type of heart disease that affects the heart muscle. It causes thickening of the heart muscle (especially the ventricles, or lower heart chambers), left ventricular stiffness, mitral valve changes and cellular changes.

• Presents as HF, SCD, heart block (CHB in 25-30% of cases) • Affects the basal septum, AV node, His bundle, ventricular free walls, and papillary muscles • The location of involvement influences the clinical manifestations • Echo may show wall thickening or thinning • Septal thinning • Segmental WMA in a non-coronary distribution

– the thickening affects the heart’s septum. ‘Without obstruction’ means that the thickening doesn’t affect or restrict the flow of blood leaving the heart. Asymmetrical septal hypertrophy with obstruction – the thickening affects the heart’s septum. However, unlike the type above, the thickened area causes an

thickening of the septum (wall separating the pumping chambers), posterior wall or both. With hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), the muscle thickening restricts the flow of blood out of the heart. Often, leakage of the mitral valve causes the blood in the lower chamber (left ventricle) to leak back into the upper chamber (left atrium).

heart disease. Approximately 1 in 500 people in the general population have HCM, and it affects individuals of both sexes and of all ethnicities. HCM is a disorder in which the muscle fibersof the heart increase in size (hypertrophy) and can be replaced by connective and fatty tissue, resulting in thicker walls of the heart. This increased ...

testing on your heart (an echocardiogram) and heart rhythm testing (electrocardiogram). The characteristic thickening of the heart walls is usually visible on the echocardiogram. What causes hypertrophic cardiomyopathy? HCM is often due to a gene mutation (change in the genetic instructions) that causes the heart muscle to gradually thicken ...

Unlike thickening of the walls in response to a physical stress (e.g. weight lifting, or running marathons) where the thickening occurs to deal with the extra work load placed on the heart, th e thickening with HCM is not normal. The degree to which the muscle walls thicken ultimately

Gallbladder wall thickening is classi-fied as mild (between 4 and 7 mm), marked (> 7 mm), and in focal or diffuse. As a rule, systemic diseases such as heart, renal or hepatic failure cause diffuse and less marked thickening, contrary to tumor lesions that cause focal and more exuberant thickening, frequently greater than 10 mm (7). The pres-
Gallbladder Wall Thickening
Systemic diseases, such as heart or renal failure, may cause gallbladder wall thickening in the absence of gallbladder inflammation, possibly related to elevated portal venous pres-sure, low intravascular osmotic pressure, or a combination of these factors. Hypoalbumin-emia and sepsis are additional causes of gall-bladder wall thickening.
