French to English: HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY (HCM)
Source text - French MYOCARDIOPATHIE HYPERTROPHIQUE (MCH). Cette affection à caractère familial se caractérise par une hypertrophie ventriculaire gauche inexpliquée associée, au plan anatomopathologique, à une disposition anarchique des fibres myocardiques. L’hypertrophie peut être diffuse à l’ensemble du VG. Plus souvent, elle prédomine ou est strictement localisée à une zone du VG (la forme la plus caractéristique étant l’hypertrophie septale asymétrique). Elle peut être totalement asymptomatique ou s’accompagner de douleurs thoraciques et/ou d’une dyspnée d’effort. Des épisodes de palpitations, de lipothymies ou de syncopes doivent être recherchés systématiquement car ils ont une valeur pronostique fondamentale. Le signe clinique évocateur est un souffle cardiaque éjectionnel, souvent assez variable, que signe l’obstruction dynamique intraventriculaire liée à l’hypertrophie. Il peut être accompagné d’un souffle d’insuffisance mitrale de mécanisme complexe. L’ECG est très rarement normal, avec troubles de la repolarisation et, parfois, ondes Q ou aspect QS, très caractéristiques, dits de pseudo-nécrose.
Translation - English HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY (HCM). This sometimes hereditary condition is characterized by unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy and is associated with, in anatomic pathology, an irregular distribution of the myocardial fibers. While hypertrophy may be diffuse and involve the entire LV, it more often predominates or is strictly localized to an area of the LV. Asymmetrical septal hypertrophy is the most characteristic form of this condition. The patient may be completely asymptomatic, or may experience chest pain and/or dyspnea on exertion. Episodes of palpitations, lipothymia or syncope must be systematically investigated, since they play a fundamental part in the prognosis of the disease. The suggestive clinical sign is an ejection murmur, oftentimes rather variable, signaling a hypertrophy-induced dynamic intraventricular obstruction. This may be accompanied by the complex mechanism a mitral regurgitation murmur. The ECG is very rarely normal, and shows abnormal repolarization and sometimes Q waves or QS complex, which are very characteristic of what is known as pseudo-necrosis.
