Key result
Echocardiography identifies rare isolated right ventricular HOCM with a 9 mmHg mid-cavity gradient.
Why the study?
Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy localized to the right ventricle is rare and lacks diagnostic clinical or electrocardiographic findings.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Highlights the rarity of isolated right ventricular hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and the necessity of echocardiography for diagnosis.
Echocardiography is essential to identify rare isolated right ventricular HOCM; this case leaves open optimal management strategies.
Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy localized to right ventricle is rare. There are no diagnostic clinical or electrocardiographic findings. Echocardiography is diagnostic. A case of isolated right ventricular hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy is reported and literature is reviewed.

Sitaram Mittal (2021) conducted a case report in Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy of Right Ventricle (n=1). Isolated right ventricular hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy was evaluated. Echocardiography diagnosed a rare case of isolated right ventricular hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy with a mid-cavity systolic gradient of 9 mm Hg in a 35-year-old female.
