Using serial imaging over time, this case reviews the natural history of co-morbid Type two diabetes (T2D) and apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and assesses the potential combined impact on myocardial structure and perfusion.
A 59-year-old patient with concomitant T2D and an apical phenotype of HCM was seen over a 11-year period with a significant burden of anginal chest pain. Chest pain was refractory to anti-anginal medical therapy and persisted at on-going follow-up. Multi-modality imaging demonstrated significant deterioration in coronary microvascular function and increased myocardial scar burden despite unobstructed epicardial coronary arteries.
Comorbidity with T2D and apical HCM resulted in a significant increase in myocardial fibrosis and deterioration in coronary microvascular function.
通过长期的系列成像,本病例回顾了合并2型糖尿病(T2D)和心尖肥厚型心肌病(HCM)的自然病史,并评估了对心肌结构和灌注的潜在综合影响。
一名59岁同时患有T2D和HCM心尖表型的患者,在11年期间出现了严重的心绞痛负担。抗心绞痛药物治疗对胸痛无效,且在持续随访中仍持续存在。多模态成像显示,尽管心外膜冠状动脉未阻塞,但冠状动脉微血管功能显著恶化,心肌瘢痕负担增加。
合并T2D和心尖HCM导致心肌纤维化显著增加,冠状动脉微血管功能恶化。
