Case Report: Multiple types of arrhythmias in a late-confirmed Danon disease

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Introduction Danon disease is an X-linked disorder caused by pathogenic variants in lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 ( LAMP2 ) gene, typically characterized by the triad of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, myopathy, and intellectual disability. However, many patients may not present the typical presentation, especially in the early stage.

Extended monitoring detects more arrhythmias in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, researchers find

Medical Xpress - ECG

Thirty day electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) detects more arrhythmias than the standard 24 to 48 hours, according to late breaking science presented at EHRA 2023, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).

Risk factors of late arrhythmia recurrences during 12 months after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation: Insight into atrial cardiomyopathy

HeartRhythm

A gradual increase in arrhythmia recurrences during 12 months after catheter ablation (CA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) is still reported.1 A gradual increase in arrhythmia recurrences during 12 months after catheter ablation (CA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) is still reported.1

Model for classification of heart failure severity in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy using a deep neural network algorithm with a 12-lead electrocardiogram

Open Heart

Objectives In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), specific ECG abnormalities are observed. Although several studies have reported on estimating the risk of developing fatal arrhythmias from ECG findings, the use of ECG to identify the severity of heart failure (HF) by applying deep learning (DL) methods has not been established.

Understanding an Enlarged Heart (Cardiomegaly): Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

MIBHS

Cardiomyopathy Cardiomyopathy is a condition that affects the heart muscle, causing it to become enlarged, thick, or rigid. Arrhythmias (Irregular Heartbeats) Persistent abnormal heart rhythms can disrupt the heart’s pumping efficiency, eventually causing it to enlarge to maintain blood flow.

What is Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (Broken Heart Syndrome)?

BoardVitals - Cardiovascular

Because it’s the month that houses Valentine’s Day, it is obviously the most appropriate month to share information about takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is commonly known by a few other names as well – stress cardiomyopathy, apical ballooning syndrome, broken heart syndrome, and stress-induced cardiomyopathy.

MP-470546-007 THE POTENTIAL BENEFIT OF MULTI-LEAD ECG IN THE ASSESSMENT OF DISEASE PROGRESSION IN ARRHYTHMOGENIC CARDIOMYOPATHY

HeartRhythm

Diagnosis and assessment of disease progression in arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) are currently based on the 2010 Task Force Criteria (TFC) with the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) being an important modality. The presence of inverted T-waves might be associated with lethal ventricular arrhythmias.
