Comparison of left atrial size and function in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and in Fabry disease with left ventricular hypertrophy
ConclusionsIn this echocardiographic study we used speckle tracking to assess left atrial mechanical function and showed that FD is associated to an atrial cardiomyopathy, affecting the three phasic functions of the LA. Although in patients with HCM left atrial volume is larger than in patients with FD, both disorders exhibit severe decrease in left atrial function. These findings should be considered, given the potentially serious complications that can occur with the two diseases.

Long ‐term outcomes for different surgical strategies to treat left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
ConclusionSeptal myectomy is a safe procedure resulting in symptomatic improvement in the majority of patients. The annual incidence of non‐fatal disease‐related complications after surgical treatment of LVOTO is relatively high. Patients who underwent MV replacements had poorer outcomes with less symptomatic benefit in spite of a similar reduction in LVOT gradients.

Contemporary Characteristics and Outcomes in Chagasic Heart Failure Compared With Other Nonischemic and Ischemic Cardiomyopathy Original Research Articles
Conclusions
Despite younger age, less comorbidity, and comprehensive use of conventional HF therapies, patients with Chagasic HF with reduced ejection fraction continue to have worse quality of life and higher hospitalization and mortality rates compared with other etiologies.

{alpha}-Galactosidase A Genotype N215S Induces a Specific Cardiac Variant of Fabry Disease Original Articles
Conclusions—
α-Galactosidase A genotype N215S does not lead to the development of a classical Fabry phenotype but induces a specific cardiac variant of Fabry disease mimicking nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The lack of prominent noncardiac impairment leads to a significant delay in diagnosis and Fabry-specific therapy.

Cardiovascular involvement in celiac disease.
Abstract
Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune response to ingestion of gluten protein, which is found in wheat, rye, and barley grains, and results in both small intestinal manifestations, including villous atrophy, as well as systemic manifestations. The main treatment for the disease is a gluten-free diet (GFD), which typically results in the restoration of the small intestinal villi, and restoration of other affected organ systems, to their normal functioning. In an increasing number of recently published studies, there has been great interest in the occurrence of alterations in the cardiovascular system in unt...

The Dx-AF study: a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial comparing VDD-ICD to VVI-ICD in detecting sub-clinical atrial fibrillation in defibrillator patients
ConclusionsThe Dx-AF Study should provide significant scientific evidence and guidance to an adequate ICD system choice and early AF detection/management hence improve clinical outcomes in a large patient population.

Clinical Characteristics, Histopathological Features, and Clinical Outcome of Methamphetamine-Associated Cardiomyopathy
Conclusions MA-associated cardiomyopathy is characterized by severe heart failure and depressed cardiac function. The extent of myocardial fibrosis seems to predict the recoverability of LV function. Cessation of MA abuse is associated with improvement in cardiac function and symptoms, whereas continued MA abuse leads to ongoing heart failure and worse outcome. Graphical abstract

Key Questions Relating to Left Ventricular Noncompaction Cardiomyopathy: Is the Emperor Still Wearing Any Clothes?
Publication date: June 2017 Source:Canadian Journal of Cardiology, Volume 33, Issue 6 Author(s): Robert H. Anderson, Bjarke Jensen, Timothy J. Mohun, Steffen E. Petersen, Nay Aung, Filip Zemrak, R. Nils Planken, David H. MacIver The evidence is increasing that left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy as it is currently defined does not represent a failure of compaction of pre-existing trabecular myocardium found during embryonic development to form the compact component of the ventricular walls. Neither is there evidence of which we are aware to favour the notion that the entity is a return to a phenotype seen in col...

Abstract 042: Association Between Preexisting Valvular Heart Disease and Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Among Hospitalized Patients in the United States Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: In this large, nationwide study, preexisting VHD was associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients hospitalized for TTCM. Our results can guide future clinical decision-making regarding prompt risk factor identification for poor prognosis in TTCM patients. Future prospective studies are needed to further evaluate this association.
