[Seven hospitalisations - diagnostic difficulties in a male patient with a 20-year history of chest pain].

Abstract:

:A case of a 45-year-old male patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is presented. The patient suffered from chest pain since his childhood. He was hospitalised several times but accurate diagnosis was not established for nearly 20 years. The ECG changes were interpreted as myocardial ischaemia. The proper diagnosis was based on echocardiographic and catheterisation data. Nowadays, echocardiography is the method of choice in the detection of HCM. HCM is an important cause of chest pain, especially in young patients.

  • [Cardiac rhythm disorders in patients with hypertrophic cardio- myopathy detected by ECG monitoring by the Holter method].

    abstract::24-hours Holter's ecg monitoring was performed in 79 patients with the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Ventricular arrhythmias were recorded in 75.9% of patients, including those revealed in the second recording in 29.5% of patients. Subsequent ecg monitoring was especially useful in detection of complex forms of ventric...
