The LVOT pressure gradient varies considerably from day to day in stable patients with HOCM. A single measurement of pressure gradient is not adequate to define the severity of dynamic LVOT obstruction in HOCM.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
