Abstract:
ypertensive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy of the eldarly(HHCME)was diagnosed with two-dimensional echocardiography in 31 patients.The echocardiography showed serious myocardial hypertrophy(ventricular septal-wall thickness 17.9±2.1mm,left ventricular posterior-wall thickness 17.7±1.8mm),reduction of left ventricular cavity diameter(anterior-posterior diameter 36.8±3.7 mm,transverse diameter 36.1±3.5mm),exaggerated myocardial systolic function(EF49.6±4.1%, FA46.7±3.9%) and impairment of myocardial diastolicfunction(EFv 41.7±7.8mm/s).The criterias of diagnosis in HHCME were suggested.
