Abstract 13729: Surgical Myectomy Results in Significantly Improved Long-term Event Rate in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Patients With Severe Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction

Abstract only Background: In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO), surgical myectomy (SM) performed for relief of intractable symptoms is safe and associated with excellent long-term symptom-free survival. In such patients, we sought to det...

Description
Summary:Abstract only Background: In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO), surgical myectomy (SM) performed for relief of intractable symptoms is safe and associated with excellent long-term symptom-free survival. In such patients, we sought to determine if SM also results in improvement of long-term outcomes. Methods: We studied 1530 HCM patients with severe LVOTO (50±13 years, 63% men) that were evaluated at our center [excluding
