This case report provides the first macroscopic and microscopic demonstration of the direct effects of thermal septal ablation on the myocardium in a fatal case of HOCM.
Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder that results in interstitial fibrosis and ventricular hypertrophy. There is severe and asymmetric enlargement of the wall of the left ventricle and especially the septum, which may be localized or diffuse [1].
