I remember a young lad, let’s call him Tom, who came into the clinic. His mom was worried. He used to be so active, always running around, but lately, he’d been struggling to keep up with his friends. #Beckermusculardystrophy #cardiomyopathy #CreatineKinase #dystrophin #geneticcondition #muscleweakness #Xlinkedinheritance

#SPINA_GT, #SPINA_GD and Jostel's TSH index (#JTI or #TSHI) are predictors of survival in patients with #Takotsubo syndrome (#stress #cardiomyopathy), as recently demonstrated in the international GEIST registry.

Imagine the public good that could come from billionaire owners of social media platforms sharing evidence-based health info instead of amplifying debunked conspiracy theories for clicks! Also, #cardiomyopathy can kill young athletes, tragically, but it’s NOT the same thing as #myocarditis and is completely unrelated to #vaccines. Something that ⬆️ the #myocarditis risk even more? Covid-19.
A short news story I wrote reporting on a study that found the shape of your #heart can help predict risk for atrial fibrillation.
The first few paragraphs (most of the story):
Rounder hearts predict future heart failure, a-fib
Greater left ventricular sphericity showed 47% greater incidence of #cardiomyopathy
MAY 2023 -- Not everyone’s heart is quite the same shape and its shape changes over time – but this could help predict who’s at risk for #cardiomyopathy.
A study in CellPress, where researchers analysed cardiac MRIs of over 30,000 people, found that variations in left ventricle sphericity in normal hearts predicted risk for cardiomyopathy and related outcomes.
Researchers hypothesized that beyond size and function, the shape of hearts might carry extra details about heart health. To study this, they used data from a large biobank with cardiac imaging data to help analyze variation in cardiac morphology in normal populations.
They noted “Cardiomyopathies of different etiologies often result in a similar end-stage phenotype of a more round, spherical ventricle. Among individuals with known cardiac disease, increased sphericity of the left ventricle (LV) has been associated with adverse outcomes, including ventricular arrhythmias and death.”
It also stated that “within the spectrum of normal LV chamber size and systolic function, there exists variation in LV sphericity, and this variation may be a marker of cardiac risk with genetic underpinnings.”
The researchers turned to artificial intelligence to help analyze 38,897 cardiac MRIs from the U.K. Biobank database. The cohort had undergone cardiac MRIs and had normal LV end-diastolic volume, normal LV end-systolic volume, and normal LV ejection fraction.
The team looked at LV sphericity and whether it predicted incident cardiomyopathy as well as clinical manifestations such as atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and #cardiac arrest. Other factors were taken into account such as body mass index, pulse rate, #hypertension, diabetes, and prior #myocardial infarction.
“We found that individuals with spherical hearts were 31% more likely to develop atrial fibrillation and 24% more likely to develop cardiomyopathy,” said Dr. David Ouyang in a press release. He is coauthor of the study and a cardiologist at Cedars Sinai in California....

I haven't heard any #physicians opine, but I'd be surprised if this were anything other than a undiagnosed #cardiomyopathy.
