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-
