Abstract: Nineteen consecutive patients with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and apical aneurysm underwent a comprehensive echo-Doppler including continuous wave Doppler at midventricular level. Three different flow patterns, pattern A (more frequent), pattern B, and pattern C, and expression of different intracavitary pressure gradients were defined.
