Key result
An 80-year-old woman presenting with syncope and cardiogenic shock was found to have basal hyperkinesia and systolic anterior motion of the anterior mitral valve leaflet on echocardiography.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the critical role of emergency echocardiography in identifying the underlying etiology of cardiogenic shock, such as systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve, to guide appropriate management.
Supports urgent echocardiography to detect SAM-induced obstruction in shock; leaves open its prevalence in larger cohorts.

Obafemi et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Syncope and cardiogenic shock (n=1). Medical treatment, inotropic therapy, and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) was evaluated. An 80-year-old woman presenting with syncope and cardiogenic shock was found to have basal hyperkinesia and systolic anterior motion of the anterior mitral valve leaflet on echocardiography.
