Trang 1Clinical case of syncope in a
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy patient (with MHY7 gene mutation)
Nguyen Thi Mai Ngoc MD, PhD Viet Nam National Heart Institute
Bach Mai General Hospital
Trang 2The HCM patient with the MYH7 gene mutation:
Male of 36 years old
Hospitalized with syncope
Diagnosed with HCM since 2003
Symptoms: chest pain, exertional dyspnea
Treated with Tildiazem 120 mg/d
Family history: Nobody in first-degree relative with HCM
Trang 3The HCM patient with the MYH7 gene mutation:
Physical examination: HR 100 b/min, BP 120/70 mmHg
ECG: normal sinus rhythm
Ambulatory Holter: no cardiac arhythmias
Doppler echocardiography:
HCM of asymmetric septal hypertrophy
No evidence of left ventricular outflow obstruction Mild mitral regurgitation
Cardiac catheterization:
No evidence of left ventricular outflow obstruction Normal coronary arteries

The HCM patient with the MYH7 gene mutation:
HCM is the most prominent among the genetic heart disease,
to be about 0,2% (1.e., 1:500) in the general population
HCM is regarded as a disease entity caused by autosomal dominant mutations in genes encoding protein components of the sarcome and its contituent myofilament elements
Trang 6Prognosis profiles for HCM and targets for therapy
Trang 7The HCM patient with the ß myosin heavy chain 7 ( MYH7) gene mutation:
Genetic testing: MYH7 gene mutation (exon 13, Arg 403 Gln):
Trang 8Characteristic & prognosis implication of myosin missense mutation in HCM:
High risk of sudden death:
Mutation Arg403Gln
Arg719Trp
Arg453Cys
Intermediate risk of premature sudden death:
Arg249Gln
Carrier of other MYH7 mutations would normal risk of premature sudden death: Gly256Glu, Val606Meth, Leu908Val
Trang 9The questions:
How to prevent sudden death in patients with HCM?
What are the best present treatments for HCM?

46 patients were hospitalized and diagnosed with
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)
Symptoms included:
Chest pain (occurs usually with exercise or physical activity)
Shortness of breath (dyspnea), especially with exertion
Fatigue (feeling overly tired)
Fainting (caused by irregular heart rhythms or no cause found)
Palpitations.
Trang 12Among the 46 HCM patients:
21 patients with HCM had the pressure gradient in the left ventricular outlet:
Age: 16-49 years
Gender: Male 62%, Female 38%
The mean pressure gradient in the left ventricular outlet:
Max: 141 mmHg
Min: 31 mmHg
> 50 mmHg: 14 pts (67%)
Mitral regurgitation: 95% of mild to intermediate MR; 5% with
severe MR
Trang 13Among the 21 HCM patients with left ventricular outflow obstruction:
10 patients were genetic tested
But only 1 patient was identified having mutation in the ß myosin heavy chain 7 gene (MYH7 gene)
Trang 14The mutation Arg403Gln means:
of protein of a patient with MYH7 gene point mutations such as nucleotide Arginine (Arg) is replaced by Glutamine (Gln)
