HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY AND MYOCARDIAL CRYPT OF THE LEFT VENTRICLE

Abstract

First time, myocardial clefty were described more than 20 years ago in autopsy of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCMP): the “fissure” along muscle fibers in interventricular septum. Currently, the precise diagnostical and practical value of this pathology unknown. What sort of diagnostic and practical impact such information brings into the management evaluation of patients? Previously, we reported on unexpected finding of myocardial fissure together with Barlow syndrome. This article continues analysis of the experience of clinical work and includes reports on 2 patients with diffuse-generalized form of HCMP and intramyocardial crypt.
