Need to know all about IHSS heart disease?

Question

I have been diagnosed with IHSS. I know that it is a thikining of the heart walls. It has also been sugested to have a defibrillator for a saftey percaution. I also know that the wall between my two heat chambers has thikined and is cutting down the flow of blood out of my heart.

Answer 1

Sorry to hear it....the following should be helpful...

First off, IHSS is more usually referred to now as "Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy"

There are some very good articles, which I will decline to cut and paste, but I would strongly suggest you read (bookmark) the following...

The "Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Association" which is dedicated to support and information....

An additional article from the Mayo Clinic...

Best of luck!

IHSS isn't simply hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. HC affects many areas of the heart muscle whereas IHSS only affects the interventricular septum at the top portion near the left ventricular outflow tract approaching the aortic valve.

Here's the tricky thing about IHSS -- it affects the area where the blood is funnelled through to go through the aortic valve, on to the aorta and then to the body for general circulation.

The thickening can significantly intrude on that pathway, even to the point where it blocks it almost completely. In that event, all of a sudden there is no blood going to the body (and most critically the brain). The heart is ready and willing to do the work of pumping blood, but a part of its own structure is acting like a cork to prevent it from doing so.

In the past treatment has included shaving off a portion of the intruding muscle, and I can't honestly say if they're still doing this or not.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
The heart muscle thickens greatly without any obvious cause. In most cases the disease is hereditary, resulting from a gene abnormality.
The disease is thought to affect at least 125,000 people in the UK.
The muscle mass of the left ventricle is larger than it should be, causing the mitral valve to touch the dividing wall between the two sides of the heart - the septum.
The effect of the narrowing of the passage is to obstruct the blood flow out of the heart. The valve may leak.
The muscle is stiff and has difficulty relaxing, increasing the amount of pressure required to expand when blood flows into the heart. This reduces the blood holding capacity of the heart.
The condition can be present in the foetus and cause stillbirth, or may develop in infancy. But, more usually, it develops during childhood or early adulthood.(BBC News)
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a congenital or acquired disorder characterized by marked ventricular hypertrophy with diastolic dysfunction but without increased afterload (eg, valvular aortic stenosis, coarctation of the aorta, systemic hypertension). Symptoms include chest pain, dyspnea, syncope, and sudden death. A systolic murmur, increased by Valsalva maneuver, is typically present in the hypertrophic obstructive type. Diagnosis is by echocardiography. Treatment is with β-blockers, verapamil, disopyramide, and sometimes chemical reduction or surgical removal of outflow tract obstruction.(Merck)
Potential risks of the ICD
Surgery is needed to implant the ICD. Risks of surgery include pain, infection, and bleeding. Additionally, ICD implantation can cause dangerous and life-threatening heart rhythms, injury to the heart and lungs, and death. These complications are very rare.
One problem with an ICD is that it sometimes delivers shocks when you do not need them. Even though a shock lasts a very short time, you can usually feel it. Every shock you feel should be notified to your doctor. The settings of the ICD may need to be adjusted or your medications may need to be changed.
ICD problems can sometimes be prevented by programming the device to sound an alert when there is a problem. This can be done by your electrophysiologist. If you heart your ICD alert, you should immediately call your doctor.
WARNING: In June 2005, certain ICD models and biventricular pacemaker-defibrillators were recalled by the manufacturer because of a circuitry flaw that prevents the devices from delivering therapeutic electrical shocks when needed. The problem may result in patient death. Two deaths are believed to be associated with the malfunction. Although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration did not make any specific recommendations, the agency encourages patients who may have such a device to ask their health care doctor if they should have it removed or replaced. The devices affected by this recall are:
* PRIZM 2 DR, Model 1861, manufactured on or before April 16, 2002
* CONTAK RENEWAL, Model H135, manufactured on or before August 26, 2004
* CONTAK RENEWAL 2, Model H155, manufactured on or before August 26, 2004
