valvular heart disease
• The most common
cardiomyopathy
NATURAL HISTORY
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
1. Most common of the genetic
cardiovascular diseases
2. Compatible with normal
longevity in many patients
3. Most common cause of
sudden death in the young
4. 1 in 500 people
Wall thickness of 13-15 mm in males and 11-12
mm in females
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
TYPES
RISK FACTOR FOR SCD
RESTRICTIVE CARDIOMYOPATHY
• INVRTED PEAR SIGN
INFILTRATION OF INTERSTITIUM
Cardiac Amyloidosis Based on Amyloid
SARCOID CARDIOMYOPATHY
• Hematoxylin-eosin staining:
Noncaseating granuloma typical
of sarcoid. The arrow points to
an “asteroid body” in the
cytoplasm of the giant cell
Peripartum cardiomyopathy
• LV systolic dysfunction
• Towards the end of pregnancy(last month) or in the
months(puriperium) following delivery
• When no other cause of heart failure is found
• The LV may not be dilated but the ejection fraction is nearly always
below 45%
PPCMP
Broken Heart
Arrythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia
Revised Task Force Criteria for the Diagnosis
of ARVD
Left Ventricular Noncompaction
Left Ventricular Noncompaction
Carcinoid Heart Disease
• a systemic disorder mediated by
elevated circulating levels of
vasoactive substances, including
serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine
[5-HT]), 5-hydroxytryptophan,
histamine, bradykinin,
tachykinins, and prostaglandins
produced by a rare metastatic
neuroendocrine malignancy,
carcinoid
•
• Carcinoid syndrome is
characterized by a triad of
symptoms—flushing, diarrhea,
and bronchospasm—that occur
in association with hepatic
metastases
• The characteristic pathologic features of carcinoid heart disease are
right-sided valve thickening and retraction resulting from
myofibroblast proliferation along with deposition of collagen, smooth
muscle cells, and elastic tissue. Tricuspid annular and subvalvar
involvement and pulmonary root constriction also occur, thereby
adding to the valvular dysfunction. Very rarely the heart is involved
directly by carcinoid metastases
• Untreated, patients with carcinoid syndrome have a median survival
of 3 to 4 years, and the presence of carcinoid heart disease shortens
this to less than 1 year. Therapy is not generally curative and includes
debulking the hepatic metastases by embolization or partial hepatic
resection and by the use of octreotide, a somatostatin analogue that
binds to somatostatin receptors on the surface of carcinoid tumor
cells and inhibits the secretion of vasoactive substances
Endomyocardial Disease
• CARCINOID HD
• LOEFFLLER’S CMP
• ENDOCARDIAL FIBROSIS
• Elevation of urinary 5-HIAA levels is highly specific and moderately
sensitive for the diagnosis of carcinoid syndrome, and the
echocardiographic and cardiac MRI features of thickened immobile
tricuspid and pulmonary valves with combined stenosis and
regurgitant lesions are highly suggestive of carcinoid heart disease
Löffler (Eosinophilic) Endocarditis
• Hypereosinophilia has been defined as either a chronic absolute
eosinophil count higher than 1500 cells/mL for at least 1 month,
although hypereosinophilia persisting for 6 months or longer is
common, or pathologic evidence of hypereosinophilic tissue invasion
• Three stages:
• acute: Myocarditis
• Intermediate: Valvular and thrombus formation
• Fibrotic :RCM
Endomyocardial Fibrosis
• Fibrosis of the LV and RV apical endocardium
• Presents as RCM
• The south Asian subcontinent
• More males affected than females (23% versus 17%)
• Family clustering
• IDIOPATHIC /hypereosinophilic syndrome
• A bimodal peak in age :First decade and second to fourth decades
• Heart failure symptoms from left or right restrictive physiology
• Dyspnea on exertion
• Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea
• Edema/ Ascites
• Imaging
• apical fibrosis / atrial enlargement and MV and TV SVF
• TREAMENT
• surgical resection of the endocardial fibrosis with valve repair or replacement
can have a dramatic effect on symptoms and survival
• significant risk for morbidity and mortality.
Structurally normal heart
LONG QT
• Delayed repolarization of the
myocardium
• QT prolongation :QTc >480 msec
• syncope, seizures, and SCD
• Structurally normal heart
BRUGADA SYNDROME
BrS is an heritable arrhythmia syndrome characterized by an ECG
pattern consisting of coved-type ST-segment elevation (≥2 mm)
followed by a negative T wave in the right precordial leads V 1 through
V 3 (often referred to as a type 1 Brugada ECG pattern) and increased
risk for sudden death resulting from episodes of polymorphic
ventricular tachyarrhythmias
LOSS OF SCN5A CHANNEL FUNCTION
Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular
Tachycardia
• Gain-of-function mutations
in RyR2lead to leaky calcium
release channels, which results
in excessive release of calcium,
particularly during sympathetic
stimulation, that can precipitate
calcium overload, delayed
depolarizations, and ventricular
arrhythmias
Bidirectional ventricular tachycardia
