Witnessed Massive Pulmonary Thromboembolism and Dynamic Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction
Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2009The authors describe a patient with a floating thrombus in the right heart that migrated into the pulmonary artery, causing on-site massive pulmonary thromboembolism during echocardiography and systolic anterior motion of the anterior mitral leaflet resulting in significant dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

Catecholamine Therapy Inducing Dynamic Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction
International Journal of Cardiology, 2005Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy with significant hypertrophy of the basal septum is the most frequently reported cause of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. Additionally, other conditions such as dehydration, sepsis, vasodilatation, or mitral valve repair have been associtaed with LVOT obstruction.

Pathophysiology of Dynamic Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction in a Critically Ill Patient [PDF]
Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction is not a rare problem in the intensive care units and can precipitate hemodynamic shock unresponsive to catecholamine therapy. The use of echocardiographic examination is extremely important in recognizing this phenomenon and its underlying conditions, finally identifying the most appropriate therapeutic ...

Left ventricular myxoma with dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction
Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2018A 24-year-old man presented with sudden motor aphasia and right hemiparesis which recovered spontaneously over 30 min. Cardiac evaluation revealed a short mid-systolic murmur at the aortic area. He was in sinus rhythm. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a large pedunculated mass in the left ventricular outflow tract with phasic prolapse through ...

Dynamic Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction Induced by Exercise
Revista Española de Cardiología (English Edition), 2004Dynamic left intraventricular outflow tract obstruction occurs occasionally in patients without hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We hypothesized that dynamic intraventricular obstruction might occur during effort in patients with angina or dyspnea without evident disease.

Severe Dynamic Obstruction of the Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Induced by Dobutamine
Echocardiography, 2000We present the case of a 63‐year‐old man who developed a subaortic gradient of 182 mmHg during an echocardiographic pharmacological stress study with dobutamine. (ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, Volume 17, January 2000)

Anterior Myocardial Infarction With Dynamic Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2011We present the case of a 78-year-old woman who presented with acute anterior myocardial infraction. An intraoperative transesophageal echocardiogram revealed an akinetic apex with hyperkinesis of the basal segments causing systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve. The patient was immediately placed on cardiopulmonary bypass.

Dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction
2020Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction is often clinically unrecognized unless echocardiographic assessment is performed. Its occurrence is favoured by anatomical factors (i.e. concentric or asymmetrical hypertrophy, excess tissue in mitral valve), hypovolemia and adrenergic stimulation and can occur in various conditions including ...

Dynamic obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract in four young dogs
Journal of Small Animal Practice, 2003Four young dogs presented for evaluation of left‐sided systolic heart murmurs all showed echocardiographic changes consistent with dynamic left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction and subjective evidence of concentric left ventricular hypertrophy.
