Abstract
A 49-year-old woman presented in our hospital with Dyspnea and atypical chest pain from one year ago. The electrocardiogram revealed left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and secondary ST-T changes. The echocardiogram showed normal LV cavity and systolic function (LVEF: 55-60%) with asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy, and a significant dynamic left ventricular outflow obstruction, suggestive for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Also, moderate to severe mitral regurgitation accomplished with significant systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve touching the septum was seen in echocardiogram. The angiogram showed deep myocardial bridging in mid part of LAD; which during systole, the vessel was totally occulted.
