Kang, Oh, Chae, Kim, Hong, Choi, Kim, and Kim: A Case of Normalized Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy after Removal of Pheochromocytoma

Abstract

The characterisitic finding of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is left ventricular hypertrophy without dilated chamber.
Echocardiographic studies of patients with pheochromocytoma in the past have revealed both dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathies, as well as obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract. We report this case because we experienced a pheochromocytoma patient who had reversible hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which might be related with circulating catecholamine level.
