Background:Mid-ventricular obstruction (MVO) is a rare subtype of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) , but it is associated with severe symptoms and worse clinical outcomes. Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4139929-A4139929, November 12, 2024. Whereas the mechanisms of MVO has not fully elucidated.

Female patients showed a lower prevalence rate of pre-existing coronary artery disease (48% vs. 75%, p  < 0.001) and cardiomyopathy (17% vs. 34%, p  = 0.01) compared with the male patients, while the mean age and prevalence rate of other cardiovascular risk factors were balanced.

Patients with increasing obesity have higher right- and left-sided ventricular filling pressures, increased cardiac output (CO), lower 6-min walk distance (6MWD) and worse Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) scores. of patients had BMI ≥30 kg/m 2. Strain measurements in all four chambers were maintained as BMI increased.

I quickly reviewed the patient’s records and saw that she was a 53 year old woman with a history of BMI 40, but no other identifiable risk factors for coronary artery disease. Of course, stress cardiomyopathy is a diagnosis of exclusion. Stress cardiomyopathy can be a very convincing mimic for OMI, particularly LAD OMI.

The beneficial effects of finerenone in patients with heart failure (HF) and mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction were consistent, regardless of a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) status.
