[Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with mid-ventricular phenotype and filamin C mutation, an uncommon case report].

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy has a different presentation spectrum, including left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. The most common phenotype is the asymmetric septal variant, with the mid-apical variant being rare. On the other hand, there are specific mutations associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, with the Filamin C variant being an unusual condition in these patients.

Outcomes after septal myectomy in a cohort of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Unlabelled: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction that doesn't improve with pharmacological management often requires septal myectomy. However, there are few centers with experience in the practice of this procedure in our country. We describe the clinical and echocardiographic characteristics and postoperative outcomes of patients with HCM indicated for septal myectomy at a reference center in Colombia.

[Ventricular septal defects in adults: 15 years of surgical experience in a single Colombian cardiovascular center].

Objective: To review the surgical experience with ventricular septal defects in adults in Colombia.

Method: Descriptive, retrospective study of surgically repaired patients between 1995 and 2010. Clinical, echocardiographic, hemodynamic, and surgical findings were related to hospital and outpatient outcomes.
