TWO-DIMENSIONAL TRANSTHORACIC ECHOCARDIOGRAM (TTE) AND DOPPLER IMAGING IN HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY (HCM) WITH MID-CAVITY SYSTOLIC OBSTRUCTION
Dr. Virendra C. Patil*
Abstract Systolic obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), either at rest or during provocation, is a frequent finding in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Left ventricular mid-cavity obstruction is uncommon. Intraventricular pressure gradients in association with either mid-cavity of apical hypertrophy are reported only rarely. We describe a trasthorasic 2-dimensional echocardiogram and Doppler findings of 48 year male patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with evidence of systolic left ventricular midcavity obstruction with significant gradient. Keywords: Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, echocardiogram. [Full Text Article] [Download Certificate] |
