We report a 36-year-old woman with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with asymmetric septal hypertrophy without outflow tract obstruction associated with an ostium secundum-type atrial septal defect with significant hemodynamic repercussion. Diagnosis was established with transesophageal echocardiography. This is the second case of this rare association...

... area. The electrocar- diogram revealed dilatation of both atria, an incomplete right bundle branch block, and biventricular hypertrophy with altered repo- larization in V,, V, and V, (Fig. 1). The chest X ray showed grade I1 cardiomegaly, right atrial dilatation, a prominent main pulmonary ar- tery, and increased pulmonary vascular mark- ings (Fig. ...

Interatrial septal anomalies, which include atrial septal defect, patent foramen ovale, and atrial septal aneurysm, are common disorders among adult patients. Early detection of interatrial septal anomalies is important in order to prevent haemodynamic consequences and/or thromboembolic events. Electrocardiogram offers some clues that should serve...
The case of a 19-year-old female with a neonatal diagnosis of Tetralogy of Fallot and complete atrioventricular (AV) septal defect is described. She had had a corrective surgery at the age of 6. She did well afterwards despite recent complain of fatigability with mild arterial hypoxaemia. Transoesophageal echocardiography depicted a 12 mm atrial se...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is characterized by heterogeneous clinical expression, unique pathophysiology, and diverse natural history.Coexistence of arterial septal defect and partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) is very rare. Since HOCM is a congenital defect,coexistence of other congenital defects should be kept in mind when we treat the patients. Only very few cases of HOCM with coexisting congenitalanomalies have been reported so far in medical literature. Hence, we report a case of HOCM with atrial septal defect and PAPVC in a 49-year-old malepatient.
This paper reports a 74 year-old-man with a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy associated with mid-ventricular obstruction and a secundum type atrial septal defect. He had been suffering from shortness of breath and occasional attacks of dizziness. Doppler echocardiography revealed the gradient in the mid-left ventricular area. A transesophageal echocardiogram confirmed the findings of transthoracic study and an ostium secundum-type atrial septal defect was documented. The present case represents a rare combination of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy associated with midventricular obstruction, and an ostium secundum type atrial septal defect in an elderly man.
