EARLY-MYO-HHD: Differentiating Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy From Hypertensive Heart Disease
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Differentiating hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) from hypertensive heart disease (HHD) unavoidably encounters diagnostic challenges especially in patient of suspected HCM with history of hypertension. Diverse and overlapping forms of HCM can often lead to ambiguity when diagnosis is based on a single genetic or morphological index.
The investigators have deduced a integrated formula based on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and established a differentiating flow-chart between HCM and HHD, the investigators aim to identify their method in the current multi-center trial.

Detailed Description
Both hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and hypertensive heart disease (HHD) present left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), but the prognosis varies. Nevertheless, the feasibility of distinguishing these two conditions is limited by the fact that overlapping LVH and diverse forms of HCM can often lead to diagnostic ambiguity when diagnosis is based on a single morphological index. Diagnosis is more difficult in a patient with a history of hypertension and with left ventricular wall thickness between 11 and 15 mm. It also puzzles the situation when hypertrophy without outflow-track obstruction was found in hypertensive subjects which might not be explained solely by the history of hypertension.
The investigators have deduced an integrated formula based on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and established a differentiating flow-chart between HCM and HHD. In this study, the investigators aim to explore the applicability of the quantifying scheme for distinguishing HCM from HHD in the multi-center trial.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy group The hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was diagnosed by left ventricular hypertrophy via echocardiography (wall thickness >15 mm) with either genetic determination of a pathogenic mutation or ) left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) (end-diastolic wall thickness >15 mm) with resting left ventricular outflow tract obstruction or hypertrophy in a recognisable pattern, i.e., ventricular bulge in apical-variant HCM. And then patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy were evaluated by the predetermined differentiating formula. |
Diagnostic Test: evaluated by the predetermined differentiating formula
After recruiting patients, collecting the baseline data, a CMR scan will be carried out and post-processed, a predetermined differentiating formula (including left ventricular morphology, ejection fraction, presence of late gadolinium enhancement, T1 value and strain data) will be used to produce a cardiac values, which is to be input into our differentiating flow.
|
hypertensive heart disease group The diagnosis of hypertensive heart disease was based on medical history and conventional echocardiography. Long durations of uncontrolled hypertension for at least 5 years with systolic blood pressure [BP] ≥150 mm Hg or diastolic BP ≥90 mm Hg or both in the absence of other cardiac or systemic diseases were used as criteria. And then patients with hypertensive heart disease were evaluated by the predetermined differentiating formula. |

control group The healthy age-matched controls were generally volunteers with a normal electrocardiogram, normal echocardiographic examination, and overall normal CMR findings. And then patients with normal findings were were evaluated by the predetermined differentiating formula. |

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- validation of the algorithm in all patients [after post-procession and complete the flow chart within 24 hours]
Evaluate the area under the curve of our algorithm compared with single parameter (wall thickness, strain) in all patients
Secondary Outcome Measures
- validation of the algorithm in subgroup patients [after post-procession and complete the flow chart within 24 hours]
Evaluate the area under the curve of our algorithm compared with single parameter (wall thickness, strain) in subgroup patients (HHD and HCM/HBP-; HHD and HCM/HBP+; HHD and HCM/OBSR-; HHD and HCM/HBP+/OBSR-)
