Dynamic left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction is classically seen in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). This can also be seen in cardiac amyloidosis. We describe a rare case of senile systemic amyloidosis with dynamic LVOT obstruction and concomitant three vessel coronary artery disease presenting with clinical and echocardiographic findings similar to those seen in HOCM. We also highlight the importance of distinguishing the sub-types of amyloidosis so that the appropriate therapy can be offered to patients with cardiac involvement, including coronary artery bypass grafting and septal myotomy/myectomy to relieve LVOT obstruction in the more benign forms of cardiac amyloidosis.

D009202 Cardiomyopathies A group of diseases in which the dominant feature is the involvement of the CARDIAC MUSCLE itself. Cardiomyopathies are classified according to their predominant pathophysiological features (DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY; HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY; RESTRICTIVE CARDIOMYOPATHY) or their etiological/pathological factors (CARDIOMYOPATHY, ALCOHOLIC; ENDOCARDIAL FIBROELASTOSIS).

D002312 Cardiomyopathy, Hypertrophic A form of CARDIAC MUSCLE disease, characterized by left and/or right ventricular hypertrophy (HYPERTROPHY, LEFT VENTRICULAR; HYPERTROPHY, RIGHT VENTRICULAR), frequent asymmetrical involvement of the HEART SEPTUM, and normal or reduced left ventricular volume. Risk factors include HYPERTENSION; AORTIC STENOSIS; and gene MUTATION; (FAMILIAL HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY).

D000686 Amyloidosis A group of sporadic, familial and/or inherited, degenerative, and infectious disease processes, linked by the common theme of abnormal protein folding and deposition of AMYLOID. As the amyloid deposits enlarge they displace normal tissue structures, causing disruption of function. Various signs and symptoms depend on the location and size of the deposits. Amyloidoses

D014694 Ventricular Outflow Obstruction Occlusion of the outflow tract in either the LEFT VENTRICLE or the RIGHT VENTRICLE of the heart. This may result from CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS, predisposing heart diseases, complications of surgery, or HEART NEOPLASMS.
