Dynamic obstruction of left ventricular outflow tract due to bilateral pulmonary embolism
A 68-year-old male patient with a history of nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit due to sudden onset of near syncope and hypotension. The diagnosis of acute bilateral pulmonary embolism was confirmed

Multimodality imaging approach to identify hemodynamic significance of an anomalous papillary muscle insertion: A case report [PDF]
Anomalous papillary muscle insertion (APMI) has primarily been reported in the context of contributing to left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. However, there is a paucity of cases reporting APMI without LVOT obstruction. This case reports a

Dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in living donor liver transplantation recipients -A report of two cases- [PDF]
We present two cases of dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in 2 patients who were undergoing living donor liver transplantation. On the preoperative transthoracic echocardiography, the first patient showed normal ventricular function and ...

Dynamic narrowing of left ventricular outflow tract—Possible mechanism of latent left ventricular outflow tract obstruction [PDF]
It has been reported that left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction can be provoked in patients even without significant left ventricular hypertrophy. We experienced a 74-year-old man with mild degree of left ventricular hypertrophy and latent LVOT obstruction which was successfully treated by alcohol septal ablation. LVOT was not narrow at end-

Dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in senile cardiac amyloidosis [PDF]
Dynamic left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction is classically seen in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). This can also be seen in cardiac amyloidosis. We describe a rare case of senile systemic amyloidosis with dynamic LVOT obstruction and concomitant three vessel coronary artery disease presenting with clinical and ...
