Document Details : Title: Cardiomyophatie hypertrophique familiale associée à un syndrome de Wolff-Parkinson-White Author(s): MAHDHAOUI A, BOURAOUI H, TABARKI B, MAJDOUB M, TRIMECHE B, MAHDHAOUI N, CHABRAK S, ERNEZ-HAJRI S, JERIDI G, AMMAR H Journal: Acta Clinica Belgica Volume: 58 Issue: 1 Date: 2003 Pages: 54-57 DOI: 10.2143/ACB.58.1.1002729 Abstract : Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is extremely rare and associated with a high risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmia and sudden death. We report a familial form of hypertophic cardiomyopathy associated with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome in two siblings 7 and 12-year-old. These patients showed progression to left ventricular dilatation. Early recognition and treatment of such forms can improve such evolution and the risk of sudden death. |
