Edge-to-edge repair for prevention and treatment of mitral valve systolic anterior motion

open access: yesJournal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2013
BackgroundThe edge-to-edge technique has been proposed to prevent systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve. There is limited clinical data available on outcomes of this technique for this indication.

Ventricular outflow tract obstruction, systolic anterior motion and acute mitral regurgitation in Tako-Tsubo syndrome

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cardiology, 2008
Tako-Tsubo syndrome is characterized by ECG changes mimicking acute myocardial infarction, left ventricular wall motion abnormalities in the apical region with preserved function of base, and normal coronary arteries. We report the cases of two old women,

Systolic Anterior Motion of the Mitral Valve

Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 2012
APPEARANCE Appearance: Systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve (SAM) is a paradoxical motion of the anterior, and occasionally posterior, mitral valve leaflet towards the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) during systole (Fig. 1 and see Videos, Supplemental Digital Content 1 and 2, which demonstrate characteristic SAM with subaortic stenosis ...

Subaortic stenosis associated with systolic anterior motion

Heart and Vessels, 2008
Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in children is classified according to the site of the obstruction into a supra-aortic type, valvular type, and subaortic type (subaortic stenosis). Subaortic stenosis, in turn, is classified into two major subtypes, i.e., a discrete type, which accounts for most cases and a tunnel type, and one minor subtype,

'Pseudo' systolic anterior motion in patients with hypertensive heart disease.

European Heart Journal, 1983
The systolic motion of the mitral apparatus in patients with hypertensive heart disease and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was studied in order to quantify the difference. Twelve out of 37 patients with severe systemic hypertension were found to have abnormal systolic anterior motion and had significantly small left ventricular end-systolic dimension (P ...

Systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve: A 30-year perspective [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2014
Systolic anterior motion (SAM) can occur after mitral valve repair (MVr), most frequently in patients with degenerative valve disease. Our initial observations (1981-1990) revealed that most patients with SAM can be successfully treated medically. Here the authors review the last 16 years of their experience with SAM after MVr.Between January 1996 and ...

Systolic Anterior Motion of the Anterior Mitral Leaflet after Heart Transplantation 

Anesthesiology, 1999
TRANSESOPHAGEAL echocardiography (TEE) is a new tool for the perioperative treatment of cardiac surgery patients. We report a clinical case to illustrate the usefulness of TEE for evaluating morphologic and functional features of a cardiac graft. Mitral regurgitation (MR) secondary to left ventricular outflow tract obstruction with systolic anterior ...

Systolic Anterior Motion of the Mitral Valve in the Presence of Annular Calcification

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2023
Mitral annular calcification (MAC) has been reported as a possible cause of systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve and dynamic left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. While morphologic features predisposing to SAM in other clinical settings have been described, patients with MAC+SAM have not been systematically investigated.

Systolic Anterior Motion of the Posterior Leaflet in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Echocardiography, 2013
Mini‐AbstractAlthough isolated systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the posterior mitral valve leaflet has been previously documented in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, this case highlights the therapeutic implications of diagnosing this phenomenon and the importance of meticulous echocardiographic techniques in these patients.

Systolic Anterior Motion of the Mitral Valve

2018
A 78 year-old female patient presented with a prolonged history of increasing dyspnoea on exertion. She had no history of rheumatic fever or infective endocarditis but was under serial echocardiography follow up with a known murmur.
