Abstract:
A 61-year-old man with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and ruptured chordae tendineae but subsequent disappearance of the obstruction received mitral valve replacement 4 years after the diagnosis of ruptured chordae tendineae. Chordal rupture should be recognized as one of the important causes of mitral regurgitation in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
