Assessment of Left Ventricular Outflow Gradient

In HCM, myocardial hypertrophy with abnormalities of the mitral valve apparatus leads to a dynamic subvalvular left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradient in most patients (1–4). Determining the magnitude of the LVOT gradient is paramount in patient management, as it is innately tied to clinical symptoms and prognosis (5–14). ................
