(Midventricular obstruction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy)
- Kardiologická klinika, 2. lékařská fakulta Univerzity Karlovy a Fakultní nemocnice v Motole, Praha
In this series of case reports we present three patients with midventricular obstruction as a less usual complication of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We briefly analyse mechanisms leading to the development of midventricular obstruction, its consequences, therapeutic alternatives and especially diagnostic possibilities of echocardiography including the demonstration of typical findings. The aim of the article is to remind this less frequent variant of the disease that may be encountered in a cardiologist's practice.
