  Abstract

Diastolic intracavitary gradient in the left ventricle is a common finding in patients with apical hypertrophy. We report the case of a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and midventricular obstruction. The paradoxical jet flow in this patient, during diastole, was directed towards the base away from the apex.

Keywords: diastolic paradoxical gradient; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
