Cardiac myopathies tumors

CardiomyopathiesCardiomyopathies

• Heart disease resulting from a primary abnormality in myocardium• most causes are idiopathic

a) most likely genetic defects• Types:

a) Dilatedi) “congestive” ii) most common (~90%)

b) Hypertrophicc) Restrictive (lease common)

1.- Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM)Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM)

• Progressive cardiac dilationa) systolic dysfunction

• ~35% of patients have genetic forma) “primary”

• large variety of acquired DCM (2o)a) toxicities (e.g., alcohol)b) myocarditis (inflammations)c) pregnancy d) unknown (“idiopathic DCM”)

i) likely to be genetic

• Myocarditis (inflammatory)a) viral in nature (most often)

i) coxsackievirus A and Bii) other enteroviruses

- cleave dystrophin (later)b) progression from myocarditis to DCM in

some patients• Alcohol (alcoholic cardiomyopathy)

a) alcohol toxicity or 2o nutritional disturbances may be cause

b) ethanol metabolite –acetaldehyde- have direct toxic effect on heart

i) however, no distinguishing features from DCM

Toxicitya) chemotherapeutic agents

i) doxorubicin (Adriamycin)ii) Cobalt

Pregnancy-associateda) “peripartum cardiomyopathy”

i) late in pregnancy or weeks to months postpartum

ii) poorly understood- hypertension- volume overload- nutritional deficiency- etc. ?

• Genetic Influencesa) ~ 35% of patients have familial

occurrenceb) autosomal dominant predominatesc) affects on cytoskeleton, oxidative Phos., fatty acid β – oxidation, etc

d) Mitochondrial defects most frequently cause DCM in children

e) X-linked induces DCM in teenagersi) rapidly progressiveii) linked to gene for “dystrophin”

- cytoskeleton proteiniii) diseases with dystrophin

mutations (myopathies such as Duchenne and muscular dystrophy) present with DCM

f) Clinical:i) common at 20-50 yrsii) progress slowly

- shortness of breath- easy fatigue- poor exertional capacity

iii) may rapidly slip in decompensation

- EF < 25%- 50% die within 2 yrs- 25% survive > 5 yrs.

iv) hypo contracting

• Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (right ventricular dysplasia)

a) associated with right sided heart failure

b) various rhythm disturbancesi) Ventricular tachycardia

c) right ventricular thinningi) due to loss of myocytes

2.- Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy(HCM)Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy(HCM) Is a genetic disease• other names:

a) idiopathichypertrophic subaortic stenosis

b) hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy • Characteristics:

a) hypertrophy (mainly septal vs. free wall) 1:3 ratio)

b) abnormal diastolic fillingc) hyper contracting

• Primary diastolic dysfunction• Systolic function is preserved• 2 diseases which must be differentiated from HCM are:

a) amyloidosisb) hypertensive heart disease

• Most cases familial a) autosomal dominantb) several gene mutations found

i) see fig. 12-35- β-myosin heavy chain is most common

- MYBP-C and troponinT are next in frequency

- these 3 genes account for ~80% of all cases of HCM

c) these gene mutations mainly effect proteins of sarcomere

•Clinical:a) complianceb) chamber sizec) Vs

d) diastolic filling

e) ~ 25% have obstruction to ventricular outflow

i) systolic ejection murmurf) focal cardiac ischemia and anginag) major problems:

i) atrial fibrillation ii) mural thrombus formationiii) embolizationiv) IE

h) one of most common causes of death in young athletes !!

DIASTOLE SYSTOLE

An illustration of the obstructive form of HCM during relaxation (diastole, left) and during active contraction (systole, right). The thickened septum and the mitral valve leaflets come in close proximity, effectively narrowing the pathway that blood must travel to get out of the heart. Additionally, the forces on the mitral valve can lead to variable degrees of backward leakage (regurgitation) that can also lead to symptoms.www.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

3.- Restrictive CardiomyopathyRestrictive Cardiomyopathy Impairs diastolic function

a) primary in compliance- impaired diastolic filling

• least common of the CM• Ventricles approximately normal size•Systolic function unaffected•Biatrial dilation commonly seen•Myocardial fibrosis

a) radiationb) amyloidosisc) sarcoidosis

d) metastatic carcinomae) sarcoid granulomasf) any factor which increases

endomyocardial fibrosis

i) most within atria (~90%)ii) left-to-right prevalence (4:1)

b) benignc) almost always single neoplasmd) 10% familial (i.e., “Carney

i) “ball-Valve” obstructionii) constitutional effectsiii) embolization

• Rhabdomyomas Rhabdomyomas a) most common cardiac tumor in

childreni) often diagnosed within 1st year

of life- obstructive disease

Non Cardiac NeoplasmsNon Cardiac Neoplasms a) most common are metastases from

i) lungii) breastiii) melanomasiv) leukemias and lymphomas

b) clinical:i) pericardial spreadii) obstruction (i.e., filling)iii) cardiomyopathy via radiation
