2. Case report
Male, 53 Yrs, Admission because of dyspnea
MH: Left ventricular outflow tract stenosis for 5 years without
treatment
Examination
Patient is alert, HR: 74 beats/min, BP: 110/70mmHg, Heart sound:
systolic murmur in aortic valves 3/6 grade, Lungs are normal, Abdomen
is soft
4. Echo
Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy with “cherry on top” pattern.

5. Test for Diagnosis
Complete blood test:
- WBC: 7.29 G/L; Hgb: 151 g/L; PLT: 133 G/L

- Tn Ihs: 10 ng/L
- NT Pro BNP: 325 ng/L
Blood cell examination and Bone marrow biopsy: Normal
Urine Test: Pro (-), RBC (-)
6. Test for Diagnosis
- ANA (-).
- Anti Ds DNA (-).
- Serum free light chain assay: Free Kappa/ Lambda: 13.5/20.9
- Monoclonal protein: IgG, IgA, IgM normal
- Serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) and immunofixation (IFE), urine
protein electrophoresis (UPEP) and immunofixation: Normal, Kappla,
Lambda light chains: not detect
7. MRI
HCM with LVOT Obstruction
Two atria are dilated, two ventricles are not dilated, two ventricular
systolic function is normal
Editor's Notes
H/CL, heart/contralateral chest ratio < 1.6
pericardial or pleural effusions, thick right ventricle, small LV cavity, and impaired global longitudinal strain characteristically with sparing of the apex
elevated native T1, increased extracellular volume fraction, late gadolinium enhancement pattern (diffuse, subendocardial, or transmural), abnormal gadolinium kinetics
