the case number five I'm going to
0:03
first provide these two still images
0:07
case number five is a 45 year
0:10
old woman with a history of syncopy.
0:14
So these images on the left, we have
0:17
a four chamber view on the right. We have delayed enhancement in
0:20
the short axis plane. I'm going to now play some cine images
0:23
for this case.
0:24
It is the Fortune review.
0:34
here is the
0:35
shot axis
0:38
in delayed enhancement
0:43
so a
0:45
45 year old woman with Syncopy. I'm going to go back to the
0:48
still images now.
0:49
I'm just put this image up while we look at
0:52
the questions the correct
0:55
diagnosis. Here we have.
0:57
Five choices. Can we put the question up?
0:59
The question correct diagnosis, it can be the choices
1:02
are hypertrophic cardiomyopathy hypertensive heart
1:05
disease athletes heart cardiac amyloidosis
1:08
or fabric disease. It's just take
1:11
a few seconds and then we'll go on to the answer. Can we
1:14
take a poll of the answers please hypertrophic cardio of
1:17
the excellent. That's the correct Choice notice that there's asymmetric
1:20
simple hypertrophy amyloid the
1:23
Other possibility would have been
1:26
AMOLED yes, or even the others but let's let's
1:29
focus between hypertrophic cardiomy within amyloid.
1:32
Notice that there's asymmetric Supple hypertrophy as
1:35
opposed to concentric hypertrophy which typically occurs and cardiac amyloidosis.
1:38
The symptom is asymmetrical the thicken compared
1:41
to the lateral wall and notice the patch areas of enhancement in
1:44
the interventricular septum and the junction points of the two ventricles typical
1:47
findings of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy hypertrophic conduit
1:51
obstructive and on abstractive in this particular case, it is not
1:54
obstructive. Typically one of the intervented less Neptune.
1:57
The other choices are not not correct hypertensive cardiomarketypical
2:00
leads to concentric hypertrophy.
2:03
The amount of enhancement here
2:06
is very extensive in general hyperte hypertensive heart
2:09
disease is not lead to well thickness of 15 millimeters
2:12
and this particular case the wall thickness was well over 15. Yes.
2:15
There's not a way for two measure on these images. But continue that
2:18
the wall thickness was in the approaching 20 millimeters here
2:21
asymmetrics Apple hypertrophy
2:24
typically greater than 15 millimeters one has
2:27
to consider hypertrophic cardiomyopathy unless proven otherwise typical
2:30
areas of enhancement are they interventricular snapdrum
2:33
and the hypertrophy Freedom September the junction
2:36
points of the right and left ventricles amyloid leads
2:39
to diffuse enhancement in The myocardium concentric hypertrophio
2:42
to Global sub in the Cardinal enhancement athletes heart
2:46
can lead to hypertrophy but it's not typically asymmetric Supple
2:49
hypertrophy same with hypertensive heart disease. Typically, it's
2:52
a concentric hydratory disease can
2:55
make hypertrophic cardiometry. However, they enhancement pattern
2:58
is in the inferior lateral not in the septum.
3:01
Typically not in the substance the case.
3:03
Typical case of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy asymmetric
3:06
Surplus hypertrophy enhancement involving the
3:09
hypertrophy tissue The Junction points or the ventricles.
3:12
Any questions in this case should be
3:15
no doubt that this is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We
3:18
do have two more questions pertaining to this case hypertrophic
3:21
cardio Market is very commonly seen in clinical practice
3:24
particularly in referral centers for cardiac, Mr.
3:28
And cardiacomar has a very important role in
3:31
the evaluation of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. There are
3:34
very many advance of cardiacomar except one
3:37
of the following in this in this question question. Number
3:40
two, put any case five the correct
3:44
answers actually e so all all the first
3:47
four advantages of cardiacomar it allows one to
3:50
accurately measure LV wall thickness and mass Mr. Is
3:53
more accurate than a geography for evaluation
3:56
of LV.
3:58
For evaluation of left ventricular wall thickness
4:01
in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which can be underestimated by
4:04
Echo. And in fact Echo may not be able to review all
4:07
areas of the heart such as the base and the Apex which
4:10
are better evaluated with cardiac Mr. A market
4:13
evaluate fibrosis the late gallium enhancement indicates fibrosin
4:16
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which is a risk for certain death.
4:19
And often differentiate hits yam from phenocrompties when we meet,
4:22
you know, what we mean by Phenom compasses think is other diseases
4:25
that look alike. For example Fabrics disease
4:28
can look look similar to hypertrophic condominopathy athletes hot
4:31
hypertensive heart disease amyloidosis. However,
4:35
they enhancement pattern and the nature of and
4:38
the location of the hypertrophy may help to differentiate.
4:41
Hit CM from not HCM related
4:44
diseases. So it carnegamar particularly delay enhancement
4:47
can help to evaluate them off from phenocopies cardiacomato. Sorry
4:51
hypertrophic cardio Market, we can lead to left ventricular
4:54
outflow tractor obstruction because the hypertrophied septum
4:57
can obstruct the left ventricular outflow
5:00
tract region.
5:02
So gradients can occur in the lvot. So
5:05
typically measured in millimeters my cream grind or 50
5:08
million meters is considered very significant for evaluation
5:12
of lvot gradients echo
5:15
car geography or invasive Catherine geography is
5:18
a test of choice because Mr. Is not very accurate particularly when
5:21
there's very high flow and D phase in face contrast
5:24
Imaging does not work very well. So for measurement of art protract
5:27
gradients either Echo geography or
5:30
Catholic geography is a test of choice not only come off.
5:33
However, Mr. Is very important
5:36
for cardiac for hypertrophic cardiometry accurate measurement to
5:39
walk thickness.
5:40
Confirmation of the diagnosis measurement of wall thickness accurately
5:43
and mass and for detection of fibrosis which
5:46
which is a risk for certain there. Okay. There is
5:49
one last question pertaining to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
5:52
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy the most important
5:55
feared complications certain cardiac death.
5:58
And there are certain risk factors for certain death. One
6:01
of these is not a major risk factor. There are five
6:04
choices here.
6:06
While thickness over 30 millimeters family history of seven deaths
6:09
sustained VT or resuscated ventric of fibrillation on its
6:12
planes and copy and atrial fibrillation.
6:14
There are four atrial fibrillation very good. So atrial
6:17
fibrillations regarded as a soft feature or
6:20
soft risk factor for a sudden death the major risk
6:23
factors for certain death in hypertrophic cardiomatically a massive hypertrophy
6:26
over 13 millimeters the family history of
6:29
Southern chronic death the personal history of Syncopy related
6:32
to to the heart not due to
6:35
neural humeral factors a personal history or sudden
6:38
death 360 or VF
6:41
and hypertensive responses to exercise. Those are the
6:44
five.
6:45
Risk factor certain death atrial fibrillation can
6:48
be a complication but by itself, it's not considered a major
6:51
risk factor for Sunday by by the American Heart Association
6:54
guidelines.
6:55
But certainly if there's massive hypertree with
6:58
30 millimeters family history of certain day or sustained
7:01
video we have in ICD maybe indicated that's
7:04
case number. I think
7:07
we are going on to case number six now we're finished
7:10
five cases almost halfway through the session at any
7:14
questions.
7:15
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy asymmetric Circle, hypertrophy enhancement
7:18
in the habitrophy deceptum. This is
7:21
the chat box. I did not see any questions. So we're going to go on to
7:25
going to case number six.
