Review of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

摘要: Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) has had a long history and many different names. Probably the first descriptions of HOCM were by Liouvielle in 1869 [1] Hallopeau [2] same journal. Schminke [3] described severe hypertrophy septum two patients 1907. The disease then disappeared from view until revisited Brock 50 years later [4], who it as “functional obstruction left ventricle”, although Evans 1949 [40] reported familial cardiomegaly Davies 1952 [5] family prone to sudden death, members which systolic murmurs. One patient upon necropsy showed “diffuse subaortic stenosis”, associated with ventricular [4, 5]. As pointed out Roberts [6], no measurements comparative thickness made these cases and, therefore, diagnosis must remain presumptive. In 1958 Teare [7] pathological features this applied descriptive title “asymmetrical heart”. 1960 Braunwald his colleagues United States America condition “idiopathic hypertrophic stenosis” (IHSS) [8], while year London Goodwin et al. [9], believing be more extensive than one merely producing outflow tract obstruction, called “obstructive cardiomyopathy”. importance “hypertrophy”, rather “obstruction”, led us revise name “hypertrophic cardiomyopathy” [10].
