Isolated Right Ventricular Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy - A Case Report

ANNU SUSAN GEORGE

Abstract


Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy of the left
ventricle is the most common genetically
determined cardiac disease with a prevalence
of 1 in 500.But right ventricular involvement
is uncommon and isolated
right ventricular hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
is rare. A 19 year old male patient
presented with complaints of breathlessness,
palpitation and chest pain. He
was found to have a holosystolic murmur
in 3rd intercostals space along left sternal
border.On echocardiography, predominant
right ventricular outflow tract
obstruction with right ventricular free wall
and interventricular septal hypertrophy
was observed without left ventricular involvement.
