2. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

1. Overview: It is a hereditary cardiomyopathy, which is anatomically characterized by asymmetric attrophy of the ventricle and is one of the main causes of sudden sports death in adolescents.

2. ** is related to genes, autosomal dominant inheritance.

3. Pathological changes:

Asymmetrical thickening of the ventricular septum 15cm;

Left ventricular hypertrophy;

Anterior movement of the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve aggravates outflow tract stenosis;

diastole) ventricular septal thickness Left ventricular posterior wall thickness 13。

4. Clinical manifestations:

The most common are dyspnea and fatigue on exertion;Chest pain: low blood flow to the aorta reduces coronary blood flow;Arrhythmias: atrial fibrillation (unequal strength of the first heart sound, absolutely irregular heart rhythm, short pulse);Some patients faint.

5. Changes in physical signs:

Obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: 3-4 intercostal systolic eruption murmurs at the left sternal border.

a.Increased murmur: decreased blood return to the heart: standing position, nitroglycerin. b.Decreased murmur: increased blood flow back to the heart: squatting, receptor blockers.

Mitral regurgitation: apical systolic murmur.

6. Auxiliary examination:

ECG: non-specific, variable.

Echocardiology**: predominant clinical diagnosis with asymmetric ventricular hypertrophy without enlargement of the ventricles and diastolic ventricular septum thickness of 15 mm.

Cardiac magnetic resonance: stenosis of the left ventricular outflow tract, anterior mitral valve displacement of the anterior leaflet, mitral regurgitation.

7. **1) Drugs**:

Alleviate left ventricular outflow tract obstruction: Receptor blockers (xx lol), improve ventricular relaxation, increase ventricular diastolic filling time;Patients who are intolerant may be treated with non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers.

For heart failure**: diuretics, ACE inhibitors (xx pril), receptor blockers.

For atrial fibrillation: amiodarone (paroxysmal atrial fibrillation works well).

2) Surgery**:

Ventricular septectomy should be considered in patients with ineffective medications** and cardiac insufficiency (NYHA class III-IV) (left ventricular outflow tract pressure gradient of 50 mmHg at rest or during exercise).
