Systolic anterior motion of the tricuspid valve in a patient with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a heterogeneous myocardial disease and is characterized by increased left ventricular wall thickness. Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction occurs in up to 70% of patients and is often caused by systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve, a paradoxical phenomenon in which the anterior mitral valve leaflet is pulled into the left ventricular outflow tract during systole. We present the first case of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with systolic anterior motion of both the mitral and the tricuspid valves and severe hypertrophy of both ventricles
