Obstruction in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Many Faces
Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), the most common inherited cardiomyopathy, exhibits left ventricular hypertrophy not secondary to other causes, with varied phenotypic expression. Enhanced actin-myosin interaction underlies excessive myocardial contraction, frequently resulting in dynamic obstruction within the left ventricle. Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, occurring at rest or with provocation in 75% of HCM patients, portends adverse prognosis, contributes to symptoms, and is frequently a therapeutic target. Transthoracic echocardiography plays a crucial role in the screening, initial diagnosis, management, and risk stratification of HCM. Herein, we explore echocardiographic evaluation of HCM, emphasizing Doppler assessment for obstruction. Echocardiography informs management strategies through noninvasive hemodynamic assessment, which is frequently obtained with various provocative maneuvers. Recognition of obstructive HCM phenotypes and associated anatomical abnormalities guides therapeutic decision-making. Doppler echocardiography allows monitoring of therapeutic responses, whether it be medical therapies (including cardiac myosin inhibitor therapy) or septal reduction therapies, including surgical myectomy and alcohol septal ablation. This article discusses the hemodynamics of obstruction and practical application of Doppler assessment in HCM. In addition, it provides a visual atlas of obstruction in HCM, including high-quality figures and complementary vid…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
