Patient 2. A: 2D echocardiography: LV compressed dilated RV, but with normal systolic function; signs of pressure and volume overload; B, C: Color Doppler of the LV in diastole (B) and systole (C). D, E: clinical contrast in diastole (D) and systole (E). The LV in diastole (arrow) forms a diastolic dilatation of a rather hyperkinetic apex; there is also a near-collapse of the mid-LV cavity
