Conservative versus invasive treatment in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy: an echocardiography study

The aim of our study was to compare the development of echocardiographic parameters and functional status of patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) treated conservatively (n = 41) or by alcohol septal ablation (ASA; n = 39). Left ventricular outflow tract gradient (LVOTG) decre...

Zusammenfassung:	The aim of our study was to compare the development of echocardiographic parameters and functional status of patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) treated conservatively (n = 41) or by alcohol septal ablation (ASA; n = 39). Left ventricular outflow tract gradient (LVOTG) decreased in the first year by 53.7±36.4 mmHg in ASA group versus 5.5±47.1 mmHg in conservatively treated group (p
