Abstract

To evaluate the feasibility and the incidence of complete heart block (CHB) after non-surgical septal myocardial reduction by coil embolization in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Twenty patients with HOCM and drug-refractory symptoms underwent non-surgical myocardial septal reduction by coil embolization with detachable coils. Occlusion of septal perforator branches was successfully performed in all patients. We detected neither ventricular tachycardia nor CHB. One patient presented an interventricular septal defect after the procedure, and died 19 days later. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed, in all patients, an increase in areas of hyperenhancement in the interventricular septum (IVS) compared with baseline. At 6-month follow-up, NYHA functional class and peak oxygen consumption were significantly improved compared with baseline (14.8 +/- 4.5 vs. 18.5 +/- 4.5 mL/kg/min; P = 0.001, respectively). Echocardiography showed a significant reduction of the IVS thickness and left ventricular outflow tract gradient (21 +/- 3 vs. 17 +/- 4 mm, P < 0.0001; 80 +/- 29 to 35 +/- 29 mmHg, P < 0.0001, respectively). The results of this pilot non-randomized study suggest that non-surgical septal myocardial reduction by...Continue Reading

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
