RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The dynamic changes and apical aneurysm formation in apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) have not been specifically described. This study aimed to describe these changes to better understand the progression of apical HCM. METHODS AND RESULTS: Seventy-two patients with apical HCM who underwent at least two cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) examinations were retrospectively included in this study. The mean interval between the first and last CMR examinations was 50.1 ± 26.8 months (ranging from 4 to 118 months). Compared with the initial values, the left atrial diameter, maximum left ventricular wall thickness and late gadolinium enhancement extent significantly increased (all P < 0.05), while the left ventricular ejection fraction significantly decreased (P < 0.05), at the latest CMR examination. More importantly, the dynamic process of apical aneurysm formation in apical HCM was observed in a subset of patients, which may follow these four stages: starting with systolic apical cavity obliteration, then broadening of the apical slit in systole, further developing into an apical outpouching, and finally forming an apical aneurysm. Eleven patients experienced adverse cardiovascular events, including new-onset or progressive atrial fibrillation (n = 7), hospitalization with heart failure (n = 3) and implantable cardioverter defibrillator intervention (n = 1), at the time of the latest CMR examination. CONCLUSIONS: In the progression of apical HCM, cardiac structure and function will change accordingly. Apical aneurysm formation in apical HCM is a chronic and continuous dynamic process that may follow a 4-step pathway of disease progression.

RESUMEN

AIMS: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with left ventricular apical aneurysm (LVAA) is associated with an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events. However, the clinical significance of LVAA in apical HCM (ApHCM) has not been reported. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) characteristics, and prognosis of LVAA in ApHCM patients. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 1332 consecutive ApHCM patients confirmed by CMR in our hospital were retrospectively analysed. LVAAs were identified in 31 patients of all ApHCM patients (2.3%, 31/1332). Besides, 31 age- and gender-matched ApHCM patients without LVAA were used for comparison. Of the 31 aneurysm patients (mean age, 53.8 ± 15.1 years old), 28 (90.3%) had clinical symptoms, and 3 (9.7%) had a family history of HCM. The rate of missed diagnosis of echocardiography for detecting LVAA was 64.5% (20/31), most (90%, 18/20) of unidentified LVAAs by echocardiography were small aneurysms (<20 mm). Compared with ApHCM patients without LVAA, the proportion of systolic mid-cavity obstruction and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) presence, and the LGE extent in ApHCM patients with LVAA were significantly higher (all P<0.05). The Kaplan-Meier curves showed that the event-free survival rate in ApHCM patients with LVAA was significantly lower than that in ApHCM patients without LVAA (log rank, P = 0.010). CONCLUSION: ApHCM with LVAA is a very rare condition, which is often missed by echocardiography and could be reliably detected with CMR and is associated with a higher risk of adverse cardiovascular events compared with ApHCM without LVAA.

RESUMEN

AIMS: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous closure in patients with a ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (RSVA). METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 29 patients with RSVA were retrospectively enrolled in our study. All patients were successfully treated by percutaneous closure and had a complete closure at discharge; however, two patients had a trivial procedure-related aortic regurgitation (AR) after the procedure. On a mean follow-up of 29.7±23.8 months (range 1-83 months), the two procedure-related AR disappeared three months and two years after the procedure, respectively. Trivial residual shunt was found in one patient, sinus of Valsalva aneurysm ruptured again in one patient and trivial to moderate AR was found in two patients during the follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: In appropriately selected patients with RSVA, percutaneous closure is an attractive alternative to surgery with high technical success and good short-term and midterm outcomes; however, long-term follow-up is mandatory.
