Flail Subaortic Membrane Mimicking Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
A subaortic membrane is an uncommon cause for left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction would mask the presence of the subaortic membrane on transthoracic echocardiography and cause a false diagnosis. We report a patient with subaortic stenosis due to flail subaortic membrane misdiagnosed as obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy on transthoracic echocardiography, identified on transesophageal echocardiography and cardiac catheterization.

Significance of left ventricular outflow tract cross-sectional area in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a two-dimensional echocardiographic assessment.
The morphologic determinants of subaortic obstruction in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are not completely understood. To define the relation between left ventricular outflow tract orifice size and presence or absence of subaortic obstruction, we studied 65 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and 16 normal controls by quantitative two-dimensional echocardiography. Left ventricu...

The clinical and haemodynamic significance of the subaortic pressure gradient in patients with muscular (hypertrophic) subaortic stenosis (hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy) has long been debated. In this report we summarize the evidence which indicates that true obstruction to left ventricular outflow exists in these patients. Rapid left ventricular ejection, through an outflow tract nar...

A case of idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis (IHSS) associated with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is studied. On three occasions preexcitation was suppressed with an intravenous injection of ajmaline. The left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) was analyzed; when WPW syndrome activation disappeared, the obstruction decreased. The ventricular depolarization pathway is n...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a prevalent genetic disease characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy, presenting dynamic obstruction of outflow tract with subaortic gradient happening at rest in 30% of the cases. It is attributed to the intricate interaction between the anterior mitral leaflet, the interventricular septum and altered flow vectors generated in left ventricle along with chang...

ngiographic and echocardiographic studies A have demonstrated that subjects with hypertrophic subaortic stenosis display an abnormal systolic outflow tract narrowing brought about by apposition of a paradoxically moving anterior rnitral leaflet and a hypertrophic interventricular septum.' The hemodynamic consequence of such obstruction is the development of a fluctuant gradient between thc infl...
