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?

Neither Midventricular Obstruction (MVO) nor Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (AHCM) describe the heart muscle thickening as evenly distributed across the entire ventricle. MVO typically involves thickening in the mid-region of the heart, while AHCM is characterized by thickening primarily at the apex (bottom) of the left ventricle.
