Abstract

A 54-year-old woman was hospitalized in 1989 because of palpitations. She had a family history of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was diagnosed by two-dimensional echocardiography, cardiac catheterization, and myocardial biopsy. A coronary arteriogram disclosed normal coronary arteries. She had received diltiazem and meliletine for 9 years. Her functional class, by the New York Heart Association classification, had worsened from II to III since 1995. Two-dimensional echocardiography showed a thrombus in the left ventricle in 1996, and warfarin and captopril were prescribed. Follow-up images showed that 1-123 β-methyl-p-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid uptake preceded that of TI-201.
