ACUTE VS CHRONIC INJURIES

In patients with depressed ejection fraction, lack of a

substantial (five segments or more) viability response to

dobutamine stress echocardiography is invariably associated

with a lack of response to CRT

• In other words, it is unlikely that home comfort

will benefit from a brand-new electric system if

there are no walls and no ceiling left.

DCM AND SUDDEN DEATH

• Few parameters have been identified as good predictors of SCD in DCM pts

HYPOKINETIC NON DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHYHNDC

Hypokinetic non-dilated cardiomyopathy

► Left ventricular or biventricular systolic dysfunction

without dilatation (defined as LVEF < 45%), not explained

by abnormal loading conditions or coronary artery disease.

Note:

► Strictly decreased LVEF is mandatory in index patient with

HNDC since no combination with dilatation is mandatory for the

diagnosis.

Isolated non ischemic LV LGE with a stria pattern

may be associated with life-threatening arrhythmias

and sudden death in the athlete.

Because of its subepicardial / midmyocardial location, LV

scar is often not detected by echocardiography.
