The haemodynamic response to the beach-chair position may be affected by the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy where remodelling of cardiac chambers can potentially lead to left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. We present a case report of severe hypotension in the beach-chair position, where focused cardiac ultrasound identified left ventricular hypertrophy and geometric features that contributed to the hypotensive response. This case illustrates that focused cardiac ultrasound has the potential to alert the clinician preoperatively to left ventricular outflow tract obstruction susceptibility during surgery in the beach-chair position, and intraoperatively to direct management should sudden decreases in blood pressure occur.

We describe a 57-year-old man with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis who underwent aortic valve reconstruction with glutaraldehyde-treated autologous pericardium with the Ozaki technique (Ozaki procedure). Seven months later, he rapidly developed progressive left ventricular hypertrophy with a left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. This required a reoperation for septal myectomy.
