Abstract

Lysine 183 deletion in the cardiac troponin I gene is 1 of the mutations that causes hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). However, the clinical course and determinants of poor prognosis in patients with this mutation have not been well established. We analyzed 10 probands with HCM caused by this mutation and their family members. Forty-six of these 79 subjects were found to be carriers, and 33 were non-carriers. All non-carriers had a percent fractional shortening (%FS) of >25% at all ages. By contrast, 7 of 24 carriers >40 years of age had a %FS of <25%, and no carriers <40 years of age had a %FS of <25%. The change in interventricular septal thickness and the change in %FS were significantly correlated (R = 0.758; P =.0017). These results suggest that about 30% of patients with HCM caused by a lysine 183 deletion mutation in the cardiac troponin I gene have systolic dysfunction develop after 40 years of age, and that patients with this mutation whose interventricular septal thickness shows a serial decrease should be followed-up closely for development of systolic dysfunction.

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.
