Abstract
The aim of our study was to analyse the anatomy and pathophysiology in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Special interest was given to the underlying mechanism of the echocardiographic finding of “systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve’. (SAM) to prove the concept that the development of an intraventricular gradient is due to systolic apposition of the anterior mitral valve leaflet (AMVL) toward the hypertrophied interventricular septum (IVS) thus creating left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction.
