P228 Mitral valve aneurysm in the context of post-infective endocarditis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: an issue of inflammation or pressure gradients?
Abstract:Mitral valve aneurysms (MVA) are uncommon and usually develop acutely in the setting of infective endocarditis (IE).
We present a case report of a patient with a ruptured aneurysm of the mitral valve (MV) leaflet and obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), previously treated for IE. Echocardiography is essential for diagnosis, highlighting the importance of imaging for early identification and timely intervention.
