title: Left ventricular diastolic pulsus alternans in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
abstract: We examined left ventricular (LV) diastolic pulsus alternans associated with systolic pulsus alternans in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Alternation in abnormal LV diastolic pressure waveforms persistently declining into mid-diastole (incomplete relaxation) and normal diastolic pressure were noted. Diastolic pulsus alternans was not corrected by isoproterenol and may possibly be independent of systolic pulsus alternans.
