Abstract

We present the case of a sprightly 84 year old female with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) echo phenotype with asymmetrical septal hypertrophy, significant left ventricular (LV) outflow obstruction (LVOT) and mitral regurgitation (MR) at rest. Valsalva provocation caused an increase in LVOT dynamic gradient and MR severity. The patient presented with progressive decrease in exercise capacity and chest pain relieved by rest or sublingual GTN spray. Exercise stress echo demonstrated a paradoxical response with reduction of both LVOT gradient and severity of MR. There was evidence of inducible regional wall motion abnormalities with no change in LV cavity size. Coronary angiography revealed significant triple vessel disease.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 15. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 October 2017.
All research outputs
#2,068,167
of 23,001,641 outputs
Outputs from Echo Research & Practice
#53
of 241 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#41,993
of 315,686 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Echo Research & Practice
#6
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,001,641 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 91st percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 241 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.6. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 315,686 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
