Diagnosing the Apical Variant of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
A 60-year-old man with a history of hypertension was admitted to the hospital after three days of a drooping face and right arm weakness. He had no chest pain or shortness of breath, and no prior history of irregular heartbeat. However, his echocardiogram was abnormal, and his high sensitivity troponin level was mildly to moderately elevated. Doctors ordered STAT echocardiogram with saline contrast, but the initial images were perplexing – normal left ventricle function, no evidence of systolic anterior motion, and nothing to suggest an LVOT obstruction.

An Overview of Common Complications with Structural Heart Disease
The leading treatment option for AS and other structural diseases is transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The overall complication rate of TAVR is relatively low -- around 4%. However, patients who experience complications have increased hospital lengths-of-stay and higher one-year mortality rates

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and RV Failure
The average time from symptom onset to accurate diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is 2.8 years, and more than half of patients have already progressed to functional class 3 or 4 by the time of diagnosis. Overlapping symptoms and clinical presentations can make it challenging to classify pulmonary hypertension patients correctly.

Heart Failure During Pregnancy
Heart failure is a complication in as many as 11% of pregnancies. However, normal cardiovascular changes during pregnancy can mimic heart failure symptoms, making it easy to misdiagnose.
