Basic Echocardiography in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

摘要: Echocardiography has a main role in diagnosing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The clinical–echocardiographic diagnosis of HCM is based on the demonstration significant left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy absence another disease process that can reasonably account for magnitude present. Thus, imaging must be always considered clinical context patient. On other hand, echocardiography offers opportunity to establish thorough assessment morphological features, architectural abnormalities, and possible presence obstruction, functional mitral regurgitation, diastolic systolic dysfunction. complex present with wide spectrum plays primary helping clinician making differential between various causes LV prognostic stratification disease.
