Cardiomyopathy II: Dilated Cardiomyopathy01:30

Cardiomyopathy II: Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Dilated cardiomyopathy, or DCM, is a progressive myocardial disorder characterized by ventricular chamber dilation and contractile dysfunction.EtiologyVarious factors can cause DCM, including hypertension and heavy alcohol intake, which contribute to the weakening and enlargement of the heart muscle. Viral infections, such as Coxsackievirus B, adenoviruses, and influenza, can lead to DCM by causing inflammation and damage to heart tissue. Certain chemotherapeutic agents, including daunorubicin,...

Cardiomyopathy V: Interprofessional Care

Managing cardiomyopathy involves addressing underlying or precipitating causes, treating heart failure with medications, and implementing dietary changes and a balanced exercise and rest regimen.Lifestyle ModificationsCardiomyopathy patients should adopt a low-sodium diet to reduce fluid retention and manage heart failure. A personalized exercise and rest plan helps maintain physical fitness without overstraining the heart. Avoiding alcohol and tobacco is essential to prevent further damage to...

Cardiomyopathy III: Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or HCM, is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy without ventricular dilation. It is more common in men and is typically diagnosed in young, athletic adults.EtiologyHCM is primarily genetic and is caused by mutations in genes encoding sarcomeric proteins. Researchers have identified over 1400 mutations across at least 11 different genes. Among these, the most frequently occurring mutations are found in the...
Aortic Regurgitation III: Medical Management01:25

Aortic Regurgitation III: Medical Management

Aortic regurgitation (AR) is when the aortic valve does not close or seal properly, leading to backward blood circulation from the aorta into the left ventricle during diastole. Common causes of AR include rheumatic heart disease, congenital valve defects, and aortic root dilation. Managing AR requires a multifaceted approach to alleviate symptoms, preserve left ventricular function, and address the underlying cause of the regurgitation. Patients with symptomatic AR or significant left...

Heart Failure III: Clinical Manifestations

Heart failure (HF) manifests primarily as dyspnea, fatigue, and fluid retention, resulting in peripheral and pulmonary edema. Symptoms may vary depending on which ventricle is more affected, left or right.Left-Sided Heart FailureAlso known as left ventricular failure, this condition results from the left ventricle's inability to fill or eject sufficient blood into the systemic circulation. It leads to pulmonary congestion, which occurs when the left ventricle fails to eject blood effectively...

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Echocardiography
  • Cardiovascular Imaging

Background:

  • Left Ventricular Non Compaction (LVNC) is a rare cardiomyopathy.
  • Characterized by excessive trabeculations and deep intertrabecular recesses in the left ventricle.
  • May lead to left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the clinical profile of consecutive Left Ventricular Non Compaction (LVNC) cases.
  • To understand the association of LVNC with other cardiac disorders.
  • To identify varying phenotypes of LVNC.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 26 consecutive cases diagnosed with LVNC via echocardiography.
  • Evaluation included clinical examination, ECG, and echocardiographic features.
  • Diagnosis based on three established published definitions.

Main Results:

  • 18 males and 8 females, aged 1 day to 63 years, were identified.
  • Isolated LVNC occurred in 16 cases; others were associated with congenital heart disease (CHD), Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD), or Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction ranged from 20-60%.

Conclusions:

  • Increased detection of LVNC cases fulfilling echocardiographic criteria.
  • LVNC is frequently associated with other cardiovascular conditions.
  • Milder LVNC phenotypes exist and can be incidentally diagnosed.
