2 Cases of Elusive Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Gradient

Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) typically have septal hypertrophy and left ventricular outflow tract gradient, usually present at rest with increase under certain hemodynamic conditions. We report 2 cases of HCM in which there was subtle septal hypertrophy; the gradient was detected...

description Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) typically have septal hypertrophy and left ventricular outflow tract gradient, usually present at rest with increase under certain hemodynamic conditions. We report 2 cases of HCM in which there was subtle septal hypertrophy; the gradient was detected only postprandially, highlighting the importance of considering postprandial imaging in patients with suspected HCM.
