Cross-sectional echocardiography was used to identify systolic anterior motion of the mural (posterior) leaflet of the mitral valve from a group of 53 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This type of systolic anterior motion was identified in parasternal long axis, apical four-chamber and/or long-axis cross-sections and was characterized by an elongation of the mural leaflet and an abnormal coaptation with the aortic (anterior) leaflet. At end-diastole, the aortic leaflet coapted at the basal or mid portion of the mural leaflet, leaving its distal "residual" segment in the left ventricle. Subsequently, during systole this "residual" segment approached or touched the ventricular septum. Systolic anterior motion of the mural leaflet was present in 6 (12%) of our patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Lengthening of the leaflet and an abnormal coaptation were associated with increased thickening of the posterior wall of the left ventricle and narrowing of the left ventricular outflow tract. All these elements contribute to the occurrence of systolic anterior motion and left ventricular tract obstruction.
