Presentation
Unfortunately, the present paper did not assess the genotypic characteristics of the patients studied. [scielo.br]
Treatment
Risk stratification is very difficult and the definition of an efficient prophylactic treatment hasproven a significant clinical challenge6,11,12,13. [scielo.br]
Prognosis
These characteristics will likely represent, in the near future, the decisive tools for the establishment of concrete predictors of prognosis in HCM. [scielo.br]
Etiology
Therefore, for these cases, the elucidation of the etiology of syncopes seems to depend on the follow-up period and on a judicious observation of further diagnostic approaches. [scielo.br]
Epidemiology
Epidemiology of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy-related death: revisited in a large non-referral-based patient population. Circulation 2000; 102: 858-64. [ Links ] 11. Elliott PM, Poloniecki J, Dickie S, Sharma S, Monserrat L, Varnava A, et al. [scielo.br]
Prevention
ICD was indicated for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death in 16 patients (61.5%), and for secondary prevention in 10 patients (38.5%). [scielo.br]
