DIAGNOSTIC VALUE OF DISARRAY IN ENDOMYOCARDIAL BIOPSY SPECIMENS IN HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY : A Critical Report Based on Distribution of Disarray in the Subendocardial Region of Autopsied Hearts

DIAGNOSTIC VALUE OF DISARRAY IN ENDOMYOCARDIAL BIOPSY SPECIMENS IN HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY : A Critical Report Based on Distribution of Disarray in the Subendocardial Region of Autopsied Hearts

Myocardial fiber disarray in endomyocardial biopsies is considered to be a histologic feature of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). To determine whether this disarray is specific for HCM, we examined the distribution of disarray in the subendocardial region in 11 autopsied hearts from patients with...

Zusammenfassung:Myocardial fiber disarray in endomyocardial biopsies is considered to be a histologic feature of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). To determine whether this disarray is specific for HCM, we examined the distribution of disarray in the subendocardial region in 11 autopsied hearts from patients with HCM and 41 autopsied control hearts. The percent area of disarray in the subendocardial region of the right ventricular side of the septum with maximum septal hypertrophy was 9±3% in HCM and 4±2% in the controls (p
