BackgroundSigmoid Ventricular Septum (SVS) is a type of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy characterized by a reduced angle between the basal interventricular septum and the ascending aorta, and SVS can lead to dynamic Left Ventricular Outflow Tract obstruction (LVOTO) during hypercontractile states.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a genetic disorder with a guarded prognosis which occurs in about 1:500 individuals. The most common symptom of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is dyspnoea which occurs in 90% of cases and is due to elevated left ventricular diastolic pressures as a consequence of the diastolic dysfunction.

The commonest causes of MINOCA include: atherosclerotic causes such as plaque rupture or erosion with spontaneous thrombolysis, and non-atherosclerotic causes such as coronary vasospasm (sometimes called variant angina or Prinzmetal's angina), coronary embolism or thrombosis, possibly microvascular dysfunction.

by making it clear to everyone that this is NOT an EKG that one sees with takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Takotsubo is a sudden event, not one with crescendo angina. Here is the cath report: Echocardiogram: There is severe hypokinesis of entire LV apex and apical segment of all the walls. ng/mL by 4th generation and older assays.)

Troponins may be negative with very rapid reperfusion, or measured too late, or chronically elevated due to cardiomyopathy or renal failure. Regional wall motion abnormality-distal inferior wall.

If our valves are leaky then again, a smaller volume of blood is effectively ejected because some leaks back Cardiomyopathies – if the heart muscle itself is defective in some way then that makes it weaker. This includes conditions like familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, familial dilated cardiomyopathy etc.
