An 84-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of left heart failure of acute onset. Transthoracic echocardiography showed diffuse hypertrophy of the normal sized hyperkinetic left ventricle and chordae-like fluttering echoes attached to the mitral valve with severe mitral regurgitation signals. Mosaic flow signals were seen at the left ventricular outflow tract, but the velocity could not be measured. Emergent transesophageal echocardiography detected no obvious mitral valve prolapse. Cardiac catheterization showed greater than 100 mmHg pressure gradient between the left ventricle and femoral artery. Pressures in the femoral artery and pulmonary capillary wedge changed reciprocally in the intensive care unit; a bisferient narrow pulse pressure of the femoral artery was associated with increased v wave of the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, and a wide pulse pressure of the femoral artery with absent v wave of the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure. Pressure monitoring in the intensive care unit, catheterization laboratory and transesophageal echocardiography were useful to understand the pathophysiology of the patient.
