Percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation markedly reduces energy loss in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy: a four-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging study
Functional follow-up modalities of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) subjected to percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation (PTSMA) are limited mainly to echocardiography and catheterization.
This study sought to investigate the influence of PTSMA in patients with HOCM on energy loss in the left ventricle (LV) and aortic root.
The result shows that PTSMA in patients with HOCM reduced energy loss within the LV and aortic root, indicating significant decrease with cardiac workload.
