General Echo Features
Definition

Idiopathic or systemic
myocardial disease
characterized by:
– Impaired ventricular filling
– Elevated diastolic
pressures
– Normal or reduced diastolic
volume of ventricle(s)
– Normal/near normal
systolic function until
advanced stages
Clinical & Echo Characteristics



Nondilated ventricle
Normal to increased wall thickness
Rigid ventricular walls
– Severe diastolic dysfunction
– Restrictive filling





Elevated diastolic filling pressures
Dilated atria, elevated RA
pressure
Pulmonary hypertension
Inability to ↑ CO with exercise
due to impaired filling
Right sided failure

Clinical Presentation



Signs of pulmonary and systemic congestion in absence of cardiomegaly
– Dyspnea
– PND, orthopnea
– Peripheral edema
– Palpitations
– Fatigue, weakness, exercise intolerance
Thromboembolic complications (up to 1/3 with idiopathic RCM)
Cardiac conduction disturbances
– Amyloid , sarcoid, hemochromatosis

– AF common in IRCM & amyloidosis
Advanced Stage
– Marked elevation in CVP
 Hepatosplenomegaly, ascites, anasarca
Physical Examination



Pulse: normal or low amplitude/tachycardic [low SV]
JVP: elevated with prominent x and y descents
Kussmaul’s sign: JVP fails to fall or ↑es w/ inspiration
– Increased resistance to
RA filling during inspiration


LV impulse: normal
S1, S2 normal, often S3 present
– abrupt cessation of rapid ventricular filling


Regurgitant murmurs
Peripheral edema, ascites, pulsatile liver, HSM
Differentiation from Constrictive
Pericarditis
Restrictive CM

History
Systemic disease involving myocardium,
mm, amyloid, cardiac transplant

trauma, systemic disease involving
pericardium
Chest X-ray
Absence of calcification, massive atrial
enlargement
Helpful when calcification persists,
moderate atrial enlargement
ECG

CT/MRI
Normal pericardium
Helpful if thickened (>4 mm) pericardium
Hemodynamics
Helpful if unequal diastolic pressures;
concordant effect of respiration on
diastolic pressures
Diastolic equilibration; dip and plateau
Biopsy
Fibrosis, hypertrophy, infiltration
Normal

Myocardial, Non-infiltrative

Idiopathic
– Sporadic , AD, or AR
– Familial type: part of spectrum of
familial HCM?


Different phenotypic expression of
same genetic disease
May be associated with distal skeletal
myopathy, occasionally heart block
[fibrosis of SA & AV nodes]
– Manifests at any age [childrens’
prognosis worse, adults’ course
protracted]
 Incidence in elderly,
women  men
– Survival time variable, mean 9 years

May have patchy, granular
sparkling appearance
Non-dilated, non-hypertrophied ventricles with dilated atria
Myocardial, Non-infiltrative

Scleroderma
– Myocardial fibrosis, contraction band
necrosis [dense bands through
myofibers often seen after ischemiai
w. reperfusion]

Often patchy, may be biventricular
– Microvascular occlusions →
ischemia

overproduction from monoclonal
plasma cells (multiple myeloma)
 50% clinical cardiac involvement
– Secondary: fragments of serum
amyloid A protein
 Chronic inflammatory conditions
(Crohn’s, RA, Tb, FMF)
 10% clinical cardiac involvement

transthyretin [>50 mutations]

Familial usually AD, associated with
ascending peripheral & autonomic
neuropathy

‹ 5% clinical cardiac involvement
Dx: endomyocardial or fat biopsy
Left: prominent interstitium, expansion by acellular,
eosinophilic substance. [Uneven size myocardial
cells, vacuolated]
Right: affinity for sulfated alcian blue (histochemical
equivalent of congo red stain)
Myocardial, Infiltrative

Amyloid
– Deposits may be interstitial & widespread:

Myocardial Dysfunction:
– Diffuse infiltration of myocardium with stiff beta-pleated fibrils →impaired relaxation,
diastolic dysfunction
– Replacement of functional myocardium with amyloid-> systolic dysfunction
– Stiff Heart Syndrome: restrictive filling present & impaired systolic function

Deposits may localize to:

Conduction tissue: heart block, ventricular arrhythmias
Valves: regurgitation
Pericardium: constriction
Coronaries: ischemia



– Prognosis poor, median survival two years


Diastolic function found to be a stronger predictor of cardiac death than LV wall
thickness or systolic function

Most common lysosomal storage disease
Deficiency in beta-glucocerebrocidase enzyme
Accumulation of cerebroside in many organs, usually bm, spleen, liver, brain
More rare: pulmonary & cardiovascular involvement
 Cerebroside accumulation in interstitium of LV -> restrictive cm
– Often subclinical



Pulmonary hypertension from pulmonary capillary occlusion
Calcification & thickening of valves, pericardial effusion
Hurler’s Syndrome
– Mucopolysaccharide accumulation leads to severe skeletal deformities,
hepatosplenomegaly, mental retardation
– Cardiac involvement evident between 1-5 years of age
– Mucopolysaccharide deposition in myocardial interstitium, valves, coronary arteries, aorta
Metabolic Storage Diseases

Hemochromatosis

–
–
–
–
–
Five types, AD or AR
Iron deposition in multiple organs (heart, liver,
skin, pancreas, pituitary, joints)
Dilated>restrictive cardiomyopathy
 Systolic dysfunction indicates a poor
prognosis
Conduction disturbances common, e.g., SSS
 SVT & VT occur in 1/3 of patients
Granular or sparkling appearance may be seen
on echo
 Atrial enlargement
Treatment with repeated phlebotomy or chelation
(desferrioxamine) may reverse LV dysfunction
Cardiac transplantation can be considered
Hurst’s The Heart, 10th edition
Fabry Disease (angiokeratoma corporis diffusum,
ceramide trihexosidosis,
or Anderson-Fabry disease )
– X-linked disorder of glycosphingolipid
metabolism
 Due to deficiency of lysosomal ceramide (galactosidase)
 Intracellular accumulation & deposition of
glycolipids in heart, skin, kidneys
 First symptoms manifest by age 10
– Peripheral neuropathy, hypohidrosis,
skin lesions (angiokeratomas), renal
dysfunction
Nagueh, SF. Fabry disease. Heart 2003; 89:819.
Fabry Disease





Accumulation occurs in myocardium, vascular, and valvular
endothelium
May develop LVH (concentric) with hypertrophic CM,
restrictive CM, or dilated CM
– Conduction abnormalities, AR>MR, premature CAD,
aortic root dilation, premature stroke
– Cardiac manifestations may not occur until age 30
– Echo findings are similar to amyloid
 LV mass correlates with disease severity
Full expression in males, incomplete in females
Screening for plasma alpha-galactosidase A levels in
patients with unexplained concentric LVH should be
considered
Recombinant alpha-galactosidase causes regression of
cardiac dysfunction

Doppler Echo findings:
Early in Disease Course

Impaired diastolic filling
– Doppler of LV inflow
 Reduced E velocity, increased A
velocity
 Prolonged isovolumic relaxation time
 Decreased early diastolic deceleration
slope
– Pulmonary vein inflow
 Reduced diastolic filling phase
 Normal systolic filling phase
– Decreased ratio of systolic to
diastolic PV flow
Zile et al. Circ 02’; 105
Pseudonormalization


LA pressure rises
– Increased pressure gradient from LA to LV
at MV opening
– E and A velocities may remain relatively
normal
Pulmonary venous inflow
– Systolic filling normal or decreased
– Diastolic is normal or increased
– Increased resistance to LV filling :  in
velocity and duration of atrial flow reversal
in lower resistance PV
Otto, Textbook of Clinical Echo; 3rd edition
Advanced Restrictive Pattern


Ventricular compliance continues to
decrease
Increased mitral early diastolic filling
velocity (E) [> 1m/s]
–





Deceleration slope becomes more rapid
A velocity reduced due to increased
LVEDP & reduced atrial contractile
function [<.5 m/s]
Increased E:A ratio (>2)
Mitral deceleration time shortens (<150
ms)
Isovolumic relaxation time shortens [ 70
ms]
PV flow shows increased diastolic phase,
reduced systolic phase & Pva increases
further in duration & velocity
E/A 2.4
Myocardial Tissue Doppler Signals

Displays the velocities of the myocardium
during contraction and relaxation

Can assist in assessment and grading of
diastolic function
– Sm: myocardial velocity during
systole
– Em: myocardial velocity during
early filling
– Am: myocardial velocity during
filling due to atrial contraction
 In restrictive pattern, Em
is diminutive

Helpful in differentiating constriction from
restriction
Cardiac MR

Can aid in distinguishing between the cardiomyopathies
– Hemochromatosis produces low signal intensity due to iron
deposition
– May differentiate primary restrictive CM from amyloidosis based on
tissue characterization
– May detect mass lesions due to sarcoid granuloma or scar

Can aid in differentiating constrictive from restrictive
disease
