Background: Septal reduction therapy via septal myectomy or a modified Konno procedure is the mainstay of therapy for drug-refractory obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), although outcomes data on septal myectomy in pediatric patients are ...

BackgroundSeptal myectomy (SM) has been the gold standard therapy for most patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Endocardial radiofrequency ablation of septal hypertrophy (ERASH) is a novel treatment for septal reduction. We aimed

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 ...

Abstract Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, either resting or labile, occurs in approximately 70% of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and is a major cause of symptoms. In patients with obstructive physiology and medically refractory symptoms, septal myectomy and alcohol septal ablation reduce the left ventricular outflow tract ...

Septal Reduction Therapy for Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and Sudden Death [PDF]
There is a subset of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction who have severely limiting symptoms despite optimal medical therapy.1 Septal reduction therapy, consisting of a surgical procedure (septal myectomy) or a catheter-based therapy (alcohol septal ablation), has been used to treat this subset of ...

Study objective: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic disease that can cause left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. This study analyzed the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RA) in improving clinical and hemodynamic factors in ...

Local myocardial stiffness variations identified by high frame rate shear wave echocardiography
Background Shear waves are generated by the closure of the heart valves. Significant differences in shear wave velocity have been found recently between normal myocardium and disease models of diffusely increased muscle stiffness.
