Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction
Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (i.e., asymmetric septal hypertrophy) may show obstruction to left ventricular outflow under basal conditions or with provocative maneuvers. The presence of dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in patients with concentric ventricular wall thickening (but without abnormalities of the aortic valve) has been less well appreciated. Clinical an...
متن کاملMetastatic sarcoma : a rare case of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction
We present a patient with cardiac involvement by a metastatic high-grade pleomorphic sarcoma. The tumor metastasized to the endocardium of the left ventricle as well as the lungs, adrenal glands, and thoracolumbar spine. The sarcoma obstructed the left ventricular outflow tract. Approximately 5 months after diagnosis, despite chemotherapy, our patient died suddenly. The exact cause of death is ...
متن کاملRecognition of Left Ventricular Outflow Obstruction.
THE PURPOSE of this paper is to summarize the clinical, hemodynamic, and angiographic aspects of valvular, subvalvular, and supravalvular aortic stenosis, with emphasis upon recognition of the more severe grades of the diseases that may require operation. A basic feature of obstruction to left ventricular outflow is the need for the ventricle to produce high systolic pressure; a systolic pressu...
متن کاملPathology of Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction.
THE anatomic sites at which obstruction to the egress of blood from the left ventricle may occur are three in number, as follows (fig. 1): the aorta, the aortic valve, and the subaortic region of the left ventricle. Obstruction in the aorta may involve one of two general areas, namely, (1) the arch or just beyond, the lesions taking the forms of classical coarctation, tubular hypoplasia, or int...
متن کاملMyocardial ischemia with left ventricular outflow obstruction
We report an unusual case of a 32-year old man who was treated for a hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) with a DDD pacing with short AV delay reduction in the past. Without prior notice the patient developed ventricular fibrillation and an invasive cardiac diagnostic was performed, which revealed a myocardial bridging around of the left anterior descending artery (LAD). We suspected...
