Hypertrophic and Hypertensive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy—A True Association?

Abstract: The cardiomyopathies were previously defined as ''heart muscle diseases of unknown cause'' and were differentiated from specific heart muscle disease with known cause. With increasing understanding of etiology and pathogenesis, the difference between cardiomyopathy and specific heart muscle disease has become indistinct. The term specific cardiomyopathies are used to describe heart diseases that are associated with specific cardiac or systemic disorders. These were previously defined as specific heart muscle d… Show more

“…HTN can also cause myocardial hypertrophy, which is characterized by concentric hypertrophy. Hemodynamic overloading and the subsequent proliferation of sarcomere protein may be the main causes of myocardial hypertrophy in patients with HTN 3,4 . The main differences between HTN with concentric LVH and HCM include systolic anterior motion (SAM), early diastolic time intervals, and differences in long-axis systolic and diastolic left ventricular functions 3 .…”

“…Systemic hypertension and HCM are important causes of LV hypertrophy (LVH). The frequency of coexistence of HCM and hypertension increases with age and poses significant diagnostic and management challenges 3,4 . It is unclear to what extent one disease affects the cardiac phenotypic expression and clinical outcome of the other.…”

“…The frequency of coexistence of HCM and hypertension increases with age and poses significant diagnostic and management challenges. 3,4 It is unclear to what extent one disease affects the cardiac phenotypic expression and clinical outcome of the other. The purpose of this study was to compare the echocardiographic and clinical outcome of patients with HCM and with and without systemic hypertension.…”

“…Hypertension-induced increases in sustained pressure load cause increased left ventricular wall stress and thereby stimulate myocardial hypertrophy (3). Wall stress stimulates sarcomeres to grow in a parallel pattern by increasing protein synthesis, which increases myocyte width in response to increased afterload (19). Cardiac hypertrophy, therefore, is a compensatory response to increased wall stress.…”
