Key Points

Assess the functional improvement in patients treated with dual chamber pacing for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Treatment of 11 patients with dual chamber pacing (DDD) over a period from 1984 to 1986.

Structured PICO

Does permanent dual chamber pacing improve symptoms and exercise tolerance in patients with severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?

Population

11 patients with severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Intervention

Permanent dual chamber pacing (DDD)

Outcome

Subjective improvement and objective increase in exercise tolerancepatient reported

Permanent dual chamber pacing may provide subjective symptom relief and objective improvement in exercise tolerance for patients with severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
