Postoperative Fluoroscopic Appearance After Flexible Endoscopic Zenker's Diverticulotomy
We perform a retrospective study on patients undergoing flexible Zenker's diverticulotomy surgery and report changes in the objective fluoroscopic appearance as well as patient‐reported outcome measures. ABSTRACT Objective Flexible approach to treating Zenker's diverticulum (ZD) has gained traction in recent years. However, objective measures comparing

Prognosis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy observed in a large clinic population [PDF]
Overall annual cardiac mortality in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC) has been reported to be between 2 and 4%, although these numbers are primarily from retrospective studies of patients referred to large research institutions. A clinic population of 113

Does Left Atrial Size and E/e′ Predict Outcomes in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy?
The current study followed 233 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, over a median follow‐up of 8 years. Left atrial size but not E/e' were predictive of outcomes related to atrial arrhythmia, and none were predictive of all‐cause mortality in multivariate analysis.

Septal myectomy for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy: coil, boil and the role of rescue surgery [PDF]
Interventional treatment of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy has considerably developed and primary surgical approach is nowadays considered for a minority of patients with insufficient relief of obstruction following catheter intervention.

Endocardial septal ablation for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy
Summary– Septal reduction therapy (SRT) is the accepted therapeutic option for symptomatic hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). At this time, surgical septal myectomy is the gold standard method, but alcohol septal ablation is an acceptable ...

Valsartan for attenuating disease evolution in early sarcomeric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: the design of the Valsartan for Attenuating Disease Evolution in Early Sarcomeric Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (VANISH) trial [PDF]
Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is often caused by sarcomere gene mutations, resulting in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), myocardial fibrosis, and increased risk of sudden cardiac death and heart failure.

ABSTRACT Background Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is a hereditary myocardial disease. Percutaneous endocardial septal radiofrequency ablation (PESA) is an innovative approach for treating HOCM. Consequently, we present the outcomes of the PESA for HOCM. Methods This study included 20 patients with HOCM who received PESA.

Abstract Aims Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited cardiomyopathy often caused by pathogenic variants in MYBPC3 and MYH7, encoding myosin‐binding protein C3 and myosin heavy chain 7, respectively. These variants can cause increased actin–myosin crossbridge cycling, resulting in ventricular hypercontractility, but mice lacking Mybpc3 ...
