Infective endocarditis is a relatively rare complication of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Infective endocarditis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is almost always seen in patients with outflow obstruction and is more common in those with both outflow obstruction and atrial dilatation. We present a case of culture negative mitral valve endocarditis in a previously asymptomatic woman with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who died in the course of the disease.
感染性心内膜炎是肥厚型心肌病相对罕见的并发症。肥厚型心肌病患者的感染性心内膜炎几乎总是见于有流出道梗阻的患者，在既有流出道梗阻又有房腔扩大的患者中更为常见。我们报告一例肥厚型心肌病的既往无症状女性患者，其患培养阴性的二尖瓣心内膜炎，并在病程中死亡。
