Popis: Postmortem contrast cardiac ventriculography, coronarography, volume-mass and planimetric cardiometry, as well as echocardiography and pathomorphological data correlation technique were employed for examination of the hearts from patients died from hypertrophy cardiomyopathy (n=100). The following variants of midventricular hypertrophy of the interventricular septum (midventricular obstruction) were established: midleft ventricular, midright ventricular, midproximal, midmaximal. Isolated distal apex hypertrophy and apical hypertrophy were also documented. These variants and forms of cardiac pathology are determined by peculiar changes in geometrical structure of the septum and left ventricle. Multiplanar variability and mobility of interventricular septum combined with peculiar catenary shape promote specific abnormalities of intracardiac hemodynamics determining dissociation between the echocardiographic and pathomorphological diagnostic data and underlying the leading elements of patho- and thanatogenesis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
