'Tear drop sign' in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. A finding on gated cardiac imaging

Clinical Nuclear Medicine, Volume 11, No. 2, Year 1986

In patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the left ventricle appears bulbous in the apical region and narrowed at the base during diastole, resembling a tear drop. This appearance is due, in part, to disproportionate septal hypertrophy.
