Assessment of the Relations Between Endothelial and Venous Dysfunctions and Left Ventricular Obstruction in Genetic Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathies
Sponsor: University Hospital, Bordeaux
Summary
Left ventricular obstruction is an invalidating complication of hypertrophic cardiomyopathies (HCM), and endothelial dysfunction has also been observed in these pathologies. However, the relation between obstruction and endothelial and venous dysfunctions has not been previously studied. The main objective is to investigate the relations between endothelial and venous dysfunctions and symptomatic left ventricular outflow-tract obstruction in HCM patients.

Interventions
BNP blood sample test
Performed during normal recommended follow-up of the HCM patients.
Electrocardiogram
Performed during normal recommended follow-up of the HCM patients.
Holter ECG
Performed during normal recommended follow-up of the HCM patients.
Echocardiography
Performed during normal recommended follow-up of the HCM patients. Echocardiography at rest and during exercise.
Air venous plethysmography
Performed specifically for the research. Non invasive, and non painful test evaluating different parameters of venous filling by inflation of an armband around the leg, upright positioning, flexion-extension of the leg. Total duration estimated at 30-45 minute.
Upper member arterial Doppler echography with analysis of FMD
Performed specifically for the research. Measurement of the evolution of brachial artery diameter before and after inflation of a armband during 5 minutes. Non invasive and non painful test, duration 30 minutes.
Endothelial function biomarkers
Performed specifically for the research. Blood sample test, 5 minutes.
