Figure 1 Cavity obliteration (CO) (white arrow) was detected by M-mode echocardiogram through the short-axis plane of the apical portion. Mild CO resolved before early diastole. Moderate or severe CO persisted up to early diastole or up to late diastole, respectively. Every short-axis view of the apical portion displayed marked apical hypertrophy.
