[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.

[Hypertonic saline solution and high dose of diuretic, ¿what do we know and how can we use them in persistent congestion?].

The presence of decompensated heart failure continues to be a condition with high rates of hospitalization, impact on the health system, and quality of life for those who suffer it. The mainstay of treatment in these cases are diuretics. However, the resistance to this pharmacological group may occasionally occur, generating an inadequate negative fluid balance and persistence of congestion with negative clinical outcomes.
