Abstract
Dynamic left ventricular outflow obstruction is associated with struct ural findings of asymmetric septal hypertrophy (less commonly concentr ic left ventricular hypertrophy) and systolic anterior motion of the a nterior mitral valva leaflet. A patient who did not have this usual su bstrate for outflow obstruction presented with an acute anterior wall myocardial infarction complicated by congestive heart failure and card iogenic shock. When an intra-aortic balloon pump was placed, the patie nt rapidly deteriorated and a dynamic outflow gradient was detected. ( C) 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
