Given his high surgical risk and frailty, he underwent TAVR. The patient had a history of persistent atrial fibrillation, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, prior cerebellar stroke, and severe AS. Post-TAVR, he experienced a significant blood pressure drop, leading to shock. Investigations revealed hyperdynamic left ventricular (LV) function, cavitary obliteration, and systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve. Management included intravenous fluids and phenylephrine, which stabilized his condition. He was discharged on a beta-blocker and remained asymptomatic with a normally functioning TAVR prosthesis one month post-discharge.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>HCM and its phenocopies are associated with worse outcomes post-TAVR.
