title: Systolic anterior motion of mitral valve with calcified annulus in octogenarians.
abstract: Systolic anterior motion of the mitral leaflet causing left ventricular outflow tract obstruction is commonly seen in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and also in patients with advanced mitral valve disease with excessive anterior leaflet tissue or a reduced aortic-mitral angle. We describe 2 octogenarians who presented with systolic mitral leaflet anterior motion in advanced mitral valve disease with severe mitral annular calcification and associated asymmetrical septal hypertrophy.
