hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), specifically a subtype known as midventricular obstruction (MVO) or apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM). In HCM, the thickened left ventricle can obstruct blood flow, causing a decrease in the size of the ventricle during systole, which can be described as near obliteration.

Thank you for the reply. Do you know if MVO is just thickened in the middle and AHCM just at the bottom of the heart or do either of them describe the thickness as all over the ventricle?
