Midventricular obstruction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Publication date: Available online 7 September 2018Source: Cor et VasaAuthor(s): Tomas Brezak, Josef VeselkaAbstractIn this series of case reports we present three patients with midventricular obstruction as a less usual complication of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We briefly analyse mechanisms leading to the developement of midventricular obstruction, its consequences, therapeutic alternatives and especially diagnostic possibilities of echocardiography including the demonstration of typical findings. The aim of the article is to remind this less frequent variant of the disease that may be encountered in a cardiologist’s practice.
