ular (LV) hypertrophy, few data exist regarding the relationships between RAS polymorphisms and alteration of LV function. The effect of RAS polymorphisms on LV function in genotyped hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) was examined in the present study. Methods and Results: The study group comprised 126 carriers with sarcomere gene mutations from 49 HCM families (64 males, mean age 51±21 years). LV morphology and function were evaluated by echocardiography. In angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D), the D allele (n=81) exhibited significantly larger LV end-systolic dimension (LVDs) (32±11 mm) and lower ejection fraction (56±15%) than those with the II genotype (28±7 mm and 62±12%, respectively, P<0.05; n=45). Although angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1-R) A/C1166 polymorphism did not affect echocardiographic parameters, the presence of the ACE D allele with the AT1-R C1166 allele (n=9) was associated with larger LVDs (37±17 mm) and lower ejection fraction (48±20%) compared with other genotypes (30±9 mm and 58±14%, respectively, P<0.05; n=117). Under these conditions, severe LV hypertrophy was frequently associated with LV wall thinning. Conclusions: The presence of both the ACE D and AT1-R C1166 allele is associated with LV dilation with systolic dysfunction in genotyped HCM. In addition to the severity of LV hypertrophy, screening for these RAS polymorphisms could contribute to further risk stratification of patients with HCM, although other genetic polymorphisms should be further examined.<br />出版者照会後に全文公開

sarcomeric or cytoskeletal proteins of cardiomyocytes, but the prevalence of these mutations in Japan remains unclear. Methods and Results: A group of 99 unrelated adult patients with DCM (familial n=27, sporadic n=72) were screened for the following genes: cardiac ﾎｲ-myosin heavy chain, cardiac myosin-binding protein C (MYBPC3), regulatory and essential myosin light chains, a cardiac actin, ﾎｱ tropomyosin, cardiac troponin T, cardiac troponin I, cardiac troponin C, dystrophin, and lamin A/C. A mutation (R820Q) in MYBPC3 was found in an aged patient. In addition, dystrophin mutations were identified in 3 male patients (2 with exon 45-48 deletion and 1 with exon 48-52 deletion). The prevalence of dystrophin mutations in male patients with DCM was 4.4% (3 of 68). No mutations involving amino acid changes were identified in the other genes. Conclusions: Although cases of adult patients with DCM caused by mutations of the genes encoding sarcomeric or cytoskeletal proteins of cardiomyocytes are infrequent in Japan, it may be advisable to screen older DCM patients for MYBPC3 mutations, and male patients with familial DCM for dystrophin mutations.

elevation in the precordial leads in patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) and those with anterior acute myocardial infarction (AMI), with regard to the location of the culprit lesion. Methods and Results: The present study evaluated 18 patients with TC, and 85 with anterior AMI who were divided into 3 groups: group A had the culprit lesion proximal to both the first septal branch (S1) and the first diagonal branch (D1), group B had the culprit lesion proximal to either S1 or D1, and group C had the culprit lesion distal to both S1 and D1. In patients with TC, reciprocal ST-segment depression in the inferior leads was observed less frequently than in patients in groups A (p<0.0001) and B (p=0.0002), and abnormal Q waves and ST-segment elevation in the inferior leads were observed more frequently than in group A (p=0.0007, p=0.0057, respectively). The ECG findings in TC did not differ from those in group C. Conclusion: Electrocardiographic findings may differentiate TC from AMI with a proximal lesion of left anterior descending coronary artery, but not those with distal lesions.

HCM associated with deletion of lysine 183 mutation in the cardiac troponin I gene. One case, a 74-year-old female exhibited dilated cardiomyopathy-like features. Transmural scarring was diffuse and circumferential, involving the whole left ventricle, especially the ventricular septum which was replaced with extensive fbrosis and showed marked wall thinning. The other case, a 92-year-old male revealed typical HCM fndings. Patchy scars which corresponded to replacement fbrosis were found extending from the septum to the anterior wall. These two autopsy cases indicate the clinical heterogeneity of HCM even within the same disease-causing mutation and suggest that the degree and extent of fbrosis determine differences in the clinical manifestations of HCM. This is the frst autopsy report that demonstrates identical sarcomeric gene mutations causing different clinical manifestations and histologic fndings. The fndings suggest that additional genetic or environmental factors infuence the phenotypic expressions and clinical courses of HCM caused by genetic mutation of sarcomeric proteins.
