Patient 1:<\/h1>\n

This is a middle-aged woman who was admitted to the hospital with a known diagnosis of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Echocardiography demonstrated severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction with a gradient of 183 mm Hg. It also showed severe mitral valve regurgitation related to systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve. Note that the murmur increases in intensity with Valsalva.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1592006081923{background-color: #dcd9dd !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\n
