The mechanism for dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) after acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is thought to be apical infarction with compensatory hyperkinesia of the residual normally perfused basal segments of the myocardium. However, herein, we report a patient with ACS and dynamic LVOTO (peak gradient of 250 mm Hg at rest) that could not be secondary to apical akinesia. We propose a potential alternative mechanism leading to dynamic LVOTO in ACS, namely, the interplay between sigmoid septum, basal hyperkinesis, and outflow tract narrowing induced by afterload reduction due to acute myocardial ischemia itself.
