title: Incremental value of live/real time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography over two-dimensional echocardiography in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with mid-ventricular obstruction and apical aneurysm.
abstract: We describe a case of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with mid-left ventricular obstruction and apical aneurysm containing thrombi where live/real time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography provided incremental value over two-dimensional echocardiography in assessing the findings.
