Popis: s S29 Eur J Echocardiography Abstracts Supplement, December 2006 diastolic function and clinical status between patients with asymmetrical apical and septal HCM. Methods: Forty HCM, 25 men, mean age 58±19 years, 10 apicals (AHCM), 16 obstructive asymmetrical septals (OAS) and 14 non-obstructive asymmetrical septals (NOAS) were studied. NYHA I: 70%, II: 22% and III 8%. Diastolic function was studied, with assessment of mitral patterns and pulmonary veins, and estimation of left ventricular filling pressures (LVFP) by the mitral E (E) and tissue E (E’) ratio. Results: 80% of patients with AHCM had normal diastolic function assessed by all the echocardiographic parameters. In the OAS group, no patient had normal diastolic function, and in the NOAS group only 35% had completely normal diastolic function. The AHCM group had significantly lower left ventricular filling pressures and higher tissue E velocities than the other groups (AHCM E/E’: 10, vs 17 in OAS vs 13 in NOAS and AHCM E’: 8 cm/sec vs 5.2 in OAS and 6.5 in NOAS. Regarding presence of symptoms, only 20% of AHCM had symptoms unlike the other groups which exceeded 40%. Conclusion: AHCM presents lesser diastolic function involvement than asymmetrical septal HCM. These data support the concept that apical hypertrophy has a lesser influence on ventricular relaxation than hypertrophy located in other segments.
