Diastolic gradient in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy of the apical type

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Diastolic intracavitary gradient in the left ventricle is a common finding in patients with apical hypertrophy. We report the case of a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and midventricular obstruction. The paradoxical jet flow in this patient, during diastole, was directed towards the base away from the apex.
