Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) typically have septal hypertrophy and left ventricular outflow tract gradient, usually present at rest with increase under certain hemodynamic conditions. We report 2 cases of HCM in which there was subtle septal hypertrophy; the gradient was detected only postprandially, highlighting the importance of considering postprandial imaging in patients with suspected HCM. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
