Conclusions

In this study of patients with HCM, 89% of PFEs were located on the aortic valve or in the left ventricular outflow tract compared with about 40% to 50% in prior studies of PFEs in general. This suggests that endocardial trauma due to turbulent left ventricular outflow tract flow may predispose to PFE development. Because of the high incidence of neurologic events among patients with HCM, PFEs may not be innocuous and should be searched for in patients with HCM and unexplained neurologic events.

Artigo muito interessante relaciona uma freqüência maior de fibroelastoma na via de saída e aorta, em pacientes com hipertrofia septal.
Prova que o desenvolvimento do fibroelastoma têm mesmo relação com o fluxo turbulento.
Apesar de ser o terceiro tumor cardíaco primário, é raro como todos os tumores primários.
Interessante foi associar seu aparecimento e localização com a patologia septal.
