Clinical Manifestations
Presence of an abnormal heart rhythm indicates this.
What is arrhythmia?
Occurs in 70% of patients and is the most common cause of heart failure.
What is left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction?
Many patients go undiagnosed with this disorder. The current estimate of patients that have the disorder
What is 1 in every 500?
Has anticoagulant properties to prevent clots and thereby ischemia
Hint: blood thinner
What is Aspirin?
The general prognosis for a patient with this disorder
What is full life-expectancy?
Pain felt in the chest is known medically as this.
What is angina pectoris?
Medically known as the enlargement of the ____ ventricle and occurs in this disorder
What is hypertrophy of the left ventricle?
A noninvasive way to determine if this disorder is culpable for symptoms is listening to the heart and lungs with a stethoscope. The sound that is produced when the disorder is present during said exam
What is murmur?
A test that measures electrical activity of the heart
Hint: Used to differentiate between a Myocardial infarction and heartbreak syndrome
What is ECG?
The original clinical description of this disorder is this many years old
What is >60 years old
Shortness of breath is known medically as this.
What is dyspnea?
Displacement of the distal portion of the anterior leaflet of the _____ valve toward the LVOT occurs in this disorder.
What is mitral?
This disorder is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder. The likelihood a child will be diagnosed with the disorder if only the male parent has the mutation
What is 50%
A small device used to monitor and restore heart rhythm using small electrical shocks
Hint: placed inside the body permanently
What is an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator?
This disorder was initially regarded as being a monogenic disease in the 90’s. Currently, it is understood that 2 genes are commonly mutated in familial versions, MYH7 and MYBPC3. These two two mutations account for this % of the familial version.
What is 70%
The temporary loss of consciousness by fall in blood pressure.
What is fainting?
Occurs when the blood flow to the heart is reduced preventing the heart muscle from receiving adequate oxygen
The most common test used to diagnose this disorder
What is Echocardiogram?
a procedure where ethanol (a type of alcohol) is injected through a tube into the small artery that supplies blood to the area of heart muscle thickened by the condition.
Hint: a type of ablation
What is Alcohol septal ablation?
In children and adolescents from genotype-positive families and families with early onset disease, initiation of screenings should begin when the family member is diagnosed. The screening should be repeated this often
What is every 1-2 years?
Tiredness due to overexertion.
What is fatigue?
Arises when the heart's fibroblasts produce collagenous scar tissue
What is myocardial fibrosis?
What is the telltale sign of this disorder during the most common test used?
What is thickening of the walls of the heart?
This antiarrhythmic and beta-blocker that produces cardiac action potential elongation
Hint: a specific beta-blocker
What is Sotalol?
Established Clinical Risk Factors for sudden death from this disorder include massive left ventricular hypertrophy, unexplained syncope and more. This many episodes of unexplained syncope are required to garner this risk stratification.
What is 1 episode?
