These workers stressed the almost constant presence of disarray in the hypertrophic zones.
It is those patients with hypertrophic right ventricular myocardium which present the major problems for the surgeon.
The hypertrophic changes however also reoccurred rapidly as the higher dose dexamethasone therapy was reinitiated.
We found this hypertrophic septal region to have microscopic myofiber disarray in all three cases.
Especially in those with hypertrophic myocardium, this normalisation of supply of oxygen through the coronary arteries can optimise myocardial function.
The overall pattern of diastolic dysfunction observed in our patients is remarkably similar to those observed in other groups of patients with hypertrophic ventricles.
The right ventricle has a small cavity due to encroachment of the hypertrophic walls.
There was no family history of congenital heart disease or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, even by echocardiography.
