Some aspects of the pathophysiology of hypertrophic cardiopathies. An echocardiographic computerized study

35 patients, of them 10 with aortic stenosis, 7 with idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis, 6 with asymmetric septal hypertrophy, and 12 with systemic hypertension were examined with the aim of a pathophysiological differentiation of various hypertrophic cardiopathies. The authors' own ECE...

Summary:35 patients, of them 10 with aortic stenosis, 7 with idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis, 6 with asymmetric septal hypertrophy, and 12 with systemic hypertension were examined with the aim of a pathophysiological differentiation of various hypertrophic cardiopathies. The authors' own ECE digital echocardiographic system was used. The results attest to an abnormal diastolic function in hypertrophic cardiopathies. At the same time, the diastolic compliance is less affected in symmetric cardiopathies, even in their more advanced clinical stage, than in asymmetric ones.
