| Summary: | The high incidence of myocardial hypertrophy poses practitioners a problem in the differential diagnosis and early detection of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy among those with myocardial hypertrophy in order to define treatment policy, to prevent life-threating conditions, and to improve prognosis. The paper presents current approaches to diagnosing hypertrophic cardiomyopathies and molecular genetic studies; 3D echocardiography that allows the accurate measurement of the volume parameters of cardiac chambers; speckle tracking and assessment of left atrial and left ventricular strain as diagnostic and prognostic criteria for the course of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; cardiac MRI and determination of the volume parameters, myocardial mass, and trabecular pattern of the left ventricle; biochemical parameters of atrial overload (B-type or brain natriuretic peptides) and myocardial ischemia (troponin T), as well as electrocardiographic studies. |
