Reversal of left ventricular intracavitary gradient with intracavitary diastolic regurgitation in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy

Journal of the American College of Cardiology
R G TrohmanK M Kessler

Abstract

A 73 year old man presented with angina and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia. Cardiac catheterization revealed the dynamic systolic intracavitary gradient of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Abnormal isovolumetric relaxation resulted in the development of a diastolic gradient from the left ventricular outflow tract to the left ventricular apex accompanied by intracavitary regurgitation of contrast material from the outflow tract to the left ventricular body during left ventriculography. This case provides hemodynamic and angiographic confirmation of abnormal isovolumetric relaxation in this syndrome and insight into its mechanism.

Cardiology Journals

Discover the latest cardiology research in this collection of the top cardiology journals.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
