Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited autosomal dominant genetic disease characterised by asymmetrical increased wall thickness of a non-dilated LV chamber. It has a diverse natural history which is attributed to its heterogeneous clinical presentation. HCM could be diagnosed clinically, by ECG changes and definitely by echocardiographic characteristics. Pharmacological therapy has an important role in the management of HCM. Alcohol septal ablation and pacing may be used in certain conditions. Septal myectomy, Morrow procedure, is indicated to reduce persistent gradient and alleviate symptoms refractory to medications.
