Abstract
Left ventricular hypertrophy, dehydration, sepsis, vasodilatation, excessive sympathetic stimulation, pericardial tamponade and surgical treatment of the atrioventricular valve are known causes of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. We report the rare case of a patient who developed dynamic LVOT obstruction as a complication of acute pulmonary embolism.
