Sustained activation of the Anrep effect has recently been identified as a compensatory mechanism in afterload-driven diseases, such as hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy or aortic stenosis. The aim of this case presentation was to show whether the Anrep effect can also be chronically activated and reversed in the right heart in a patient with pulmonary stenosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case summary<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 30-year-old female patient with chronic exertional dyspnoea (New York heart association II) and suspected supravalvular pulmonary stenosis was referred to our hospital for further diagnosis and treatment. Echocardiography revealed a borderline hypertrophied right ventricle with a gradient of more than 100\u2005mmHg across the pulmonary valve. However, it was not possible to distinguish between valvular and supravalvular stenosis. Pulmonary stenosis with characteristic bulging of the valve could finally be diagnosed by transoesophageal echocardiography. Subsequently, a successful balloon valvuloplasty of the pulmonary valve was performed, which significantly reduced the maximum pressure gradient from 70 to 19\u2005mmHg. Detailed pressure\u2013volume analyses demonstrated distinctive increased contractility (end-systolic elastance = 1.47\u2005mmHg\/mL), increased afterload effective arterial elastance, prolonged systole duration (480\u2005ms), and increased stroke work prior to valvuloplasty consistent with the Anrep effect. After successful intervention, the Anrep effect abruptly reversed characterized by reduction of afterload, contractility, and systolic duration.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
