Increased intraventricular pressure gradients during exercise can lead to various symptoms, and exercise stress echocardiography plays a crucial role in diagnosing symptoms that occur during exercise. We propose potential pathophysiological mechanisms for the syncopal episodes observed in our patient.
Increased intraventricular pressure gradients due to dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction during exercise have long been known to cause different symptoms. Exercise stress echocardiography is fundamental in the diagnostic approach of symptoms presenting during exercise. We hypothesize on the possible pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for our patient's syncopal episodes.
