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 ...

Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and Takotsubo syndrome [PDF]
A 76-year-old woman with a medical history notable for factor V gene mutation (with a previous episode of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism), arthritis and hypertension, on full-dose aspirin (325mg daily) and lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide (unknown doses), presented in the emergency room complaining of typical 5/10 chest pain, nausea ...

The Apex Cardiogram in Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction [PDF]
The use of the apex cardiogram offers a simple yet valuable aid in the diagnosis of obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract. Characteristic changes in the ejection component of the apex cardiogram distinguish obstruction due to hypertrophic subaortic stenosis from obstruction due to valvular aortic stenosis.

Effect of Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction on Clinical Outcome in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
BACKGROUND The influence of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction on the clinical outcome of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy remains unresolved. METHODS We assessed the effect of outflow tract obstruction on morbidity and mortality in a large cohort ...

Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction—be Prepared! [PDF]
The current trend to treat hypotension in critically ill patients is to place a greater emphasis on inotropic support and less on fluid resuscitation in order to limit the potential harm from fluid overload. This combination may trigger left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) in susceptible patients.

Accessory mitral valve tissue causing left ventricular outflow tract obstruction associated with subaortic membrane and aortic sinus aneurysm: A case report and literature review [PDF]
Accessory mitral valve tissue is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly that can lead to left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. We present the case of an older female patient with accessory mitral valve tissue, a subaortic membrane, an unruptured ...

Transient dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction
Dynamic left ventricular outflow (LVOT) obstruction has been classically described in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The hypertrophy of the basal septum and systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve leaflet (SAM) cause dynamic LVOT ...

An unusual cause of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction
Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) has been reported with bio-prosthetic and mechanical mitral valves (MV), though it is more common with the former. The obstruction can be dynamic or fixed.

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-
