Fig 1 Patient 1. (A, B) Preoperative echocardiograms demonstrating systolic anterior motion and hypertrophy of the left ventricle. (C, D) Echocardiograms after patient was weaned from bypass demonstrating myectomy changes and resolution of systolic anterior motion.

Fig 2 Patient 1. (A) Intraoperative photograph of excised specimen demonstrating endocardial scar. (B) High-power photomicrograph from a subaortic resection specimen shows diffusely enlarged myocytes with prominent central vacuolization of the cytoplasm (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification ×400).

Fig 3 Patient 2. (A, B) Preoperative cardiac magnetic resonance image demonstrating extent of hypertrophy of the ventricle. (C) Transmission electron microscopy shows that the sarcoplasmic vacuoles contain myeloid figures (arrow) characterized by concentric laminated electron-dense material (original magnification ×11,000).
