Jang, Kim, Kim, and Kim: A Case of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy with Pathologic Q Wave in EKG

Abstract

HCM(=Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy) is a primary cardiac disease and its characteristic morphologic abnormality is a hypertrophied and nondilated left ventriclar in the absence of another cardiac or systemic disease that itself is capable of producing left ventricle hypertrophy. The symptoms of HCM are varied and include dyspnea, orthopnea, fatigue, chest pain, palpitations and impaired consciousness. The pathophysiologic components of the disease process are left ventricular outflow obstruction, diastolic dysfunction, myocardial ischemia, and arrhythmia. Predicting the clinical course and outcome for individual patients with HCM has been difficult because of variability in natural history and the complexity in disease expression.
The present report describe a patient with am asymptomatic, pathologic Q wave in whom HCM was diagnosed by echocardiography, MIBI-SPECT, coronary angiography, and left ventriculography.
