Abstract

Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction is a presentation of subaortic membrane. Asymmetric septal hypertrophy is an uncommon echocardiographic finding in this condition. Nonetheless, it is a common presentation of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. These 2 conditions can coexist in the same patient. We describe a woman with a significant obstructive subaortic membrane and asymmetric septal hypertrophy, with a final diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy confirmed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
