Study Notes
Cardiac Myopathies
- Family history of syncope and exercise-induced symptoms: Increases the risk of hypertrophic or other types of cardiomyopathy.
- Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM): Inheritance pattern is autosomal dominant.
- HOCM and Systolic/Diastolic problems: Primarily systolic.
- Murmur Location: Located at the left sternal border and radiating to the suprasternal notch.
- HOCM and Preload: Murmur (in HOCM) gets louder with increased preload and quieter with decreased preload.
- Congenital Heart Murmurs and Radiation: It is common for congenital heart murmurs to radiate to the suprasternal notch.
- Congenital Heart Murmurs and Preload: Normal, some murmurs change with preload changes.
- Unusual murmur response to preload: Some murmurs get softer with higher preload and louder with lower preload. This is an important characteristic to note.
- Is there a normal cardiac murmur that radiates to the suprasternal notch?: Yes, this can be a sign of congenital cardiomyopathy. A specific murmur radiating to the suprasternal notch may be suggestive of a specific cardiac condition.
- HOCM effect on ventricles: Causes left ventricular hypertrophy.
