Abstract
An early diastolic flow from the apex toward the base of the left ventricle—known as diastolic paradoxical jet flow—is associated with adverse cardiovascular events in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This subtle flow, indicative of a concealed apical pouch, can be unmasked by exercise stress echocardiography even when no pouch is visualized on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
