The Dutch Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation Registry: progress report on the quest to identify the unidentifiable

When all identifiable causes of ventricular fibrillation (VF) are excluded with systematic diagnostic testing, a patient with sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) due to VF is diagnosed as “idiopathic” (iVF) [ 1 ]. iVF is a rare diagnosis, and approximately …

Risk stratification for sudden cardiac death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Dutch cardiologists and the care of mutation carriers

Background. Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and HCM mutation carriers are at risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Both groups should therefore be subject to regular cardiological testing – including risk stratification for SCD – …

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy family with double-heterozygous mutations; does disease severity suggest double-heterozygosity?

Background. With the improvement in genetic testing over time, double-heterozygous mutations are more often found by coincidence in families with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Double heterozygosity can be a cause of the wellknown clinical …

Reduced regional myocardial perfusion reserve is associated with impaired contractile performance in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy

Background. In idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) an imbalance between myocardial oxygen consumption and supply has been postulated. Subclinical myocardial ischaemia may contribute to progressive deterioration of left ventricular function.
