Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) - American Heart Association In obstructive HCM, the thickened part of the heart muscle, usually the wall (septum) between the two bottom chambers (ventricles), blocks or reduces the blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta Two-thirds of the people with HCM have this type
Causes of an increased pressure gradient through the left . . . HCM was clinically diagnosed in the absence of HT or valve disease or other cardiomyopathies as restrictive cardiomyopathy, showing thickness of the LV septal wall (>15 mm) in one or more LV myocardial segments on M-mode or 2D echocardiography and asymmetrical septal hypertrophy (septal to LV posterior wall thickness ratio >1 3) [3]
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Guide - Cleveland Clinic Thickening of the heart muscle (myocardium) occurs most commonly at the septum The septum is the muscular wall that separates the left and right side of the heart Problems occur when the septum between the heart’s lower chambers, or ventricles, is thickened
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf HCM in adults is characterized by a left ventricular wall thickness of 15 mm or more, with a septal posterior wall thickness ratio of over 1 3 in patients who are normotensive or over 1 5 in those who are hypertensive
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - Symptoms and causes - Mayo Clinic Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy typically affects the wall between the two bottom chambers of the heart This wall is called the septum The chambers are called the ventricles The thickened wall might block blood flow out of the heart This is called obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Management of patients with . . . Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetically determined disease that commonly results in obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), which can produce chest discomfort, dyspnea, fatigue, and syncope
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy HCM generally afects the left ventricle (the main pumping chamber), and particularly the septum (area of muscle in the middle of the heart, which separates the right and left sides) However, it can also afect the right ventricle The average thickness of the left ventricle wall in an adult is 12mm, but in HCM the thickness is 15mm or more
