Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) was first described in the late 1950s as a disease typified by substantial thickening of the myocardium, particularly the left ventricular wall, with no overt cause.

The Brockenbrough phenomenon occurs during left ventricular outflow tract obstruction such as in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). This phenomenon is defined as an ...

High-intensity exercise raises sudden cardiac death risk in young hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients, independent of ...

This maneuver will decrease the murmur of HOCM, as the increased left ventricular volume helps displace the hypertrophied interventricular septum, causing less outflow tract obstruction.

Aneurysms (AN) of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) following tetralogy ... stenosis leading to incomplete relief of outflow obstruction were the chief factors leading to the development ...

in patients with HOCM could be an important contributor to drug-refractory symptoms and worsening left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction, as a result of heightened sympathetic activity.

It often involves left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Septal reduction therapies are key interventions for patients whose symptoms persist despite medical treatment. This study highlights ...

A repeat stress echocardiogram showed mild mitral regurgitation at peak stress, with a peak left ventricular outflow-tract gradient ... he did not have features of obstruction on stress ...
