End-Stage Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy with Impressive Biventricular Hypertrophy: Evaluation with Novel Echocardiographic Modalities

Abstract

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the most common genetic cardiac disorder. This disease, which is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young patients, is typically characterized by idiopathic hypertrophy of the left and sometimes the right ventricle. We present a case of end-stage hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with impressive biventricular hypertrophy which was evaluated with novel echocardiographic modalities.
