“…However, not every patient with dynamic LVOT obstruction has HCM. Some other structural or functional features of the LV may play important roles in the development of LVOT obstruction ( 8 , 9 ). Indeed, patients with TCM complicated by LVOT obstruction have been reported to frequently present a sigmoid septum ( 10 ).…”

Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy in a Patient with Previously Undiagnosed Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy with Latent Obstruction

et al. 2018

A 62-year-old woman with takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) accompanied by cardiogenic shock due to the obstruction of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) and massive mitral regurgitation (MR) was admitted to the emergency department. After successful treatment with intensive care, dobutamine stress-echocardiography was performed, which reproduced a dynamic LVOT gradient, severe MR and cardiogenic shock. A histological examination obtained from the right ventricular septum demonstrated hypertrophied and bizarre myocytes, with myocyte disarray. Besides TCM, a diagnosis of preexisting hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with latent obstruction was made. She was discharged with medical therapy including a beta-blocker, which would not be routinely employed in the treatment of a patient with TCM.
