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.

Atrial fibrillation (AF), a common cardiac arrhythmia, often results in significant atrial remodeling, including atrial cardiomyopathy and dilatation. This remodeling process plays a pivotal role in the emergence of Atrial functional mitral regurgitation (aFMR), a condition with critical prognostic implications in AF patients.

In all probability, this dilation is a form of atrial tachycardia and atrial cardiomyopathy. However, underlying lesions such as hypertension, mitral valve disease, COPD, ASD, and TR greatly influence the degree of atrial enlargement. However, in cases of lone AF, AF in hypertension, or chronic AF, both atria tend to dilate equally.

Hypertrophic septum affects patients in two ways: it manifests as symptomatic left ventricular outflow (LVOT) obstruction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) or prevents the option for transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) due to the perceived risk of developing LVOT obstruction.

Though there are several parameters for evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function by echocardiography, the most commonly used are the pulsed Doppler mitral E/A ratio and tissue Doppler mitral E/e’ ratio. Doppler interrogation of mitral valve is usually done from the apex through the apical four chamber view.

However, if you freeze the ultrasound clip and scroll forwards and backwards to find a time during the clip where the patient’s mitral valve is open, you know the heart is filling, and is therefore in diastole. It is difficult to tell if there is collapse during diastole due to the patient’s tachycardia.
