Background

  • Genetically-linked (AD) hypertrophy of cardiac muscle - can but does not always cause outflow obstruction
  • "HOCM"
  • Abnormal LV diastolic function due to decr compliance

Diagnosis

  • Sx: Syncope or sudden death most common
    • Also exertional dyspnea, chest pain, syncope, dizzyness, palpitations, or CHF
  • Systolic murmur that increases w/ valsalva
  • EKG
    • Nonspecific/normal.
    • Or, high voltage/LVH, deep narrow Q waves in 1, avL, V5, V6 = "daggers of death"

Work-Up

  1. EKG
  2. CXR
  3. ECHO

Differential Diagnosis

Cardiomyopathy

Treatment

Definitive = Myomectomy

Decompensated!

  • If decompensated presents as hypotensive CHF
    • Preserve preload
      • Careful hydration
      • Avoid high airway pressure if intubate
    • Limit tachycardia
      • Beta blockers
    • Avoid vasodilators (no nitrates)
    • Maintain sinus rythm (i.e. cardiovert A. fib)
    • Increase afterload (hypotensive only)
      • Phenylephrine
