Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy

Dynamic LV outflow obstruction with impaired filling and an illustrative spike-and-dome arterial contour.

Overview

Select Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy under Clinical controls → Cardiomyopathy. The bold italic live label confirms the active selection. These are the preset’s teaching features; combined disease, rate and interventions can change the resulting numbers.

Dynamic LV outflow obstruction with impaired filling and an illustrative spike-and-dome arterial contour.

Faster rates and reduced systemic afterload worsen modeled obstruction and forward flow.

A wedge a wave reflects impaired LV filling in sinus rhythm; it disappears with AF.

The LV–aortic pullback and post-PVC response illustrate dynamic LVOT obstruction; the echo schematic shows the selected phenotype.

IABP afterload reduction can worsen dynamic obstruction; selecting it demonstrates deterioration and triggers a warning.

Step by step

  1. Reset interventions if you want the untreated example.
  2. Select the condition and inspect the pressure summary and relevant waveforms.
  3. Pause for annotations; add one intervention or loading change to compare the response.
