Exercise Echocardiography in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

 

On the left, resting and peak exercise images in the 4- and 2-chamber apical views in a patient with HCM and dyspnea during physical effort, at diastole (D) and end-systole (S). Note the reduction of LV cavity with exercise in this patient. LV ejection fraction increased from 64 to 72%. On the right, color and continuous wave Doppler images at rest and at exercise. Note the exercise-induced LV outflow tract obstruction and accompanying mild-to-moderate mitral regurgitation, both due to systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve.
