Journal ArticleDOI

Atrial fibrillation and thromboembolism in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: systematic review

TL;DR: LA dimension and age are independently associated with AF but the literature is insufficient to create robust clinical tools to predict AF or thromboembolism; most data suggest that AF patients should be anticoagulated.
Journal ArticleDOI

The long-term survival and the risks and benefits of implantable cardioverter defibrillators in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

TL;DR: HCM patients with an ICD have a significant cardiovascular mortality and are exposed to frequent inappropriate shocks and implant complications, which suggest that new strategies are required to improve patient selection for ICDs and to prevent disease progression in those that receive a device.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence of desmosomal protein gene mutations in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.

TL;DR: This study suggests that both clinical presentations of heart failure caused by a dilated, poorly contracting left ventricle and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy can be caused by mutations in desmosomal protein genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

A validation study of the 2003 American College of Cardiology/European Society of Cardiology and 2011 American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association risk stratification and treatment algorithms for sudden cardiac death in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

TL;DR: The power of the 2003 ACC/ESC and 2011 ACCF/AHA SCD risk stratification algorithms to distinguish high risk patients who might be eligible for an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) from low risk individuals with limited power is assessed.
