A woman with advanced coronary artery disease underwent heart transplantation. The donor heart had left ventricular hypertrophy. The electrocardiographic and echocardiographic evidence, of left ventricular hypertrophy regressed during follow up; estimated left ventricular mass decreased from 393 g to 171 g. The adaptation of myocardial mass and performance after transplantation is not fully understood. This case illustrates the potential for regression of left ventricular hypertrophy in response to altered loading conditions.
一名患有晚期冠状动脉疾病的女性接受了心脏移植。供体心脏有左心室肥厚。心电图和超声心动图证据显示，左心室肥厚在随访期间有所消退；估计左心室质量从393克降至171克。移植后心肌质量和性能的适应性尚未完全了解。该病例说明了左心室肥厚可能因负荷条件改变而消退。
