Fig. 1 —Line diagram of the heart in the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) projection shows typical findings of systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve. Note displacement of the anterior mitral valve leaflet tip (red leaflet) into the LVOT. This displacement has resulted in failure of the valve leaflets to coapt, a turbulent high-velocity jet within the LVOT, and a posteriorly directed jet of mitral valve regurgitation into the left atrium.
