[Reduction of the left ventricular outflow tract gradient in hypertrophic, obstructive cardiomyopathy after myocardial infarct].
A 73-year old female patient is known to have hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) since 1989. After a transmural anterolateral myocardial infarction with the development of a large apical aneurysms of the anterior wall, a previously measured gradient of 110 mm Hg in the LVOT is no longer detected. As a consequence of this casuistry, "pseudomyectomy" caused by myocardial infarction is described as an example of an uncommon spontaneous course of HOCM.
