Pathomorphologic findings in left ventricular hypertrabeculation/noncompaction of adults in relation to neuromuscular disorders
Conclusion: Formaldehyde-fixation should be performed when comparing ECHO with PATHO findings in LVHT. Long-axis as well as short-axis cuts should be carried out in order to assess the course of trabeculations and the extent of the two-layered structure. Subendocardial fibrosis in LVHT deserves further research.

The hospitalizations in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: “the dark side of the moon”.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a myocardial disease characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy not solely explainable by abnormal loading condition [1,2]. Patients with HCM show a different clinical course, ranging from an asymptomatic status, with no adverse events and normal or extended longevity, to a symptomatic condition in which several disease complications can occur [3]. Among HCM patients which experience disease progression, 3 different pathways have been identified: refractory heart failure (HF), requiring surgical myectomy/alcohol ablation (obstructive HCM, OHCM) or heart transplant (non-obstructive HC...
