Overview

Diagnostic Study of Choice

Schematic summarizing the general approach to the diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: ESC 2014: Authors' reproduction of the schematic based on the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Guidelines on the diagnosis and management of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (European Heart Journal (2014) 35, 2733–2779 - doi 10.1093/eurheartj/ehu284)


There is no single study of choice in the diagnosis and management of patients with HCM. In fact a series of studies are indicated the time of diagnosing HCM among them are Echocardiograhy and ECG.


ESC Recommended tests in patients with definite or suspected HCM[1]

  • Standard 12-lead electrocardiography.
  • Trans-thoracic 2-D and Doppler echocardiography (including assessment of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction at rest and during Valsalva manoeuvre in the sitting and semi-supine positions).
  • Upright exercise testing
  • 48-hour ambulatory ECG monitoring.
  • Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging should be considered if local resources and expertise permit.[1]


The followings are fundamentals of diagnostic studies:

  • Diagnosing HCM
  • To study the presence or severity of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction
  • Tostudy the presence or severity of mitral regurgitation
  • To evaluate the risk of developing arrhythmia (either SVT or VT)
  • To examine LV function

Study of choice

There is no single diagnostic study of choice for the diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, but hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can be diagnosed based on clinical examination, imaging, ECG, and genetic testing.In fact, a series of studies are indicated the time of diagnosing HCM among them are Echocardiography and ECG. Echocardiography is the imaging study of choice for the diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. However, MRI might detect HCM sooner, and as mentioned above genetic tests are also helpful.

The following result of Echocardiography/MRI is confirmatory of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy:

  • LVH
  • Systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve
  • Asymmetric thickening of the interventricular wall.
  • Out follow obstruction, Pseudo sub-aortic stenosis
  • LVOT obstruction
  • LA enlargement (increase adverse effects of HCM including the development of AF)(>48 mm transverse dimension or ≥118 mL chamber volume)[2]
Diagnostic results

The following result of Echocardiography/MRI is confirmatory of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy:

  • LVH
  • Systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve
  • Asymmetric thickening of the interventricular wall.
  • Out follow obstruction, Pseudo sub-aortic stenosis
  • LVOT obstruction
  • LA enlargement (increase adverse effects of HCM including the development of AF)(>48 mm transverse dimension or ≥118 mL chamber volume)[2]

There are lots of unknown genetic abnormalities in patients with HCM. Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy may include but not limited to mutations in the genes involved in Beta-myosin heavy chain, Myosin binding protein C, and Cardiac troponin T. Genes involved in the pathogenesis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy include:



Sequence of Diagnostic Studies

The diagnosis of HCM should be suspected if one of the followings exist:

  • Family history of HCM
  • Unexplained symptoms (ie, dyspnea, chest pain, fatigue, palpitations)
  • Systolic ejection murmur
  • Abnormal 12-lead electrocardiogram
  • Syncope (or presyncope).


The presence of one or more of these clinical findings should prompt further testing with imaging (echocardiography and/or cardiac MRI) to confirm the diagnosis. Please not that the presence of increased left ventricular (LV) wall thickening ≥15 mm anywhere in the LV wall in the absence of any other identifiable cause such as hypertension or valve disease is consistent with a diagnosis of HCM, but the other common findings such as mitral valve systolic anterior motion (SAM) or hyperdynamic LV are not obligatory for an HCM diagnosis.
