Why the study?
The impact of septal myectomy on diastolic function in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was not well studied.
Does septal myectomy improve diastolic function in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
Does septal myectomy improve diastolic function in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
Septal myectomy significantly improves left ventricular diastolic function and relieves right ventricular congestion in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Septal myectomy was associated with improved LV diastolic function in obstructive HCM; leaves open need for randomized confirmation of clinical benefit.
Yang et al. (2021) studied this question.
