Minimally Invasive Septal Myectomy for Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Surgical septal myectomy is the treatment of choice for patients with symptomatic hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy refractory to medications. This report describes our minimally invasive approach for performing a septal myectomy via a ministernotomy that has been used at our institution for more than a decade. In particular, patient preparation,

Echocardiographic findings late after myectomy in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Postoperative echocardiograms of 50 patients undergoing myectomy for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy between 1965 and 1982 have been evaluated. In 21 patients a comparison with preoperative echocardiograms showed that postoperatively there was a ...

Models of the human heart for biomedical research: Opportunities and challenges
This manuscript reviews models that can be used to study the physiology and pathophysiology of the heart, and describes some the limitaions and ethical concerns associated with the use of human tissue. Abstract Model systems that mimic human cardiac structure and function are essential for the development of novel diagnostics and effective treatments ...

Surgical treatment versus medical treatment in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Sixty-three patients operated upon for HOCM and 49 patients selected for non-surgical treatment have been followed-up for 15 years. Pre-operatively, surgical patients had a higher left ventricular outflow tract gradient at rest and, on the average, more ...
