Transthoracic echocardiography showed dramatic improvement of left ventricle wall thickness and systolic motion after prednisolone treatment (10 mg) for 3 days. a Parasternal long axis view before treatment showed increased wall thickness of the septum and posterior wall (arrowheads). b Apical four chamber view before treatment showed increased wall thickness of the inferior septum, anterior lateral wall and apex (arrows). c Parasternal long axis view after treatment showed resolution of thickened wall of the septum and posterior wall (arrowheads). d Apical four chamber view after treatment showed resolution of the thickened inferior septum, anterior lateral wall and apex (arrows)
