Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and prognosis of apical hypertrophic cardiomy -opathy (AHCM).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 34 patients with AHCM, the clinical characteristic , ECG, imageology data and the cardiovascular morbidity were counted and analyzed . Results There was no specificity on the clinical characteristics of the patients with AHCM ,the high voltage of the left ventricular and the huge inverted T wave of the left precordial leads came into the characteristic change for the ECG,there were 21 patients of the total 34 patients were made a definite diagnosis after examined by the ultrasonic cardiogram,13 patients of them were made a definite diagnosis after examined by MRI .During the following-up,there were 4 patients occurred angiocardiopathy (the morbidity was 11.8%).The thickness of apex,apex cordis and poste-rior wall of the left ventricle examined during the last follow-up had significant differences compared with that during the first diagnosis(t=-3.73,-3.908,all P<0.05).The left ventricular ejection fraction ,interventricular septal thickness,left ventricular end diastolic diameter and thickness of the posterior wall of left ventricle had no significant differences compared with that during the first diagnosis (t =1.762,1.662, -1.857,2.015,all P >0.05). Conclusion AHCM has the benign prognosis effect , but the clinical misdiagnosis rate is high , clinicians should enhance their understanding level on the disease ,the characteristic ECG change ,ultrasonic cardiogram and MRI check can help to make a definite diagnosis .
