[Diastolic intraventricular gradient detected with Doppler echocardiography in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Report of a case].
It has recently been reported the rare existence of intraventricular diastolic gradients in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This proves the great disturbance of diastolic function that exists in these patients. We report the case of a patient with this disease, in whom a significant diastolic intraventricular gradient was detected with color Doppler echocardiography. In the end we make a summing up of its most probable physiopathology.
