Abstract
Dual chamber (DDD) pacing and catheter-based nonsurgical septal reduction t herapy (NSRT) with ethanol are evaluated for treatment of patients with hyp ertrophic cardiomyopathy. This report describes a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction who had fail ed to respond to DDD pacing but showed benefit from subsequent NSRT. Proced ural difficulties during NSRT due to massive septal hypertrophy are present ed. (C) 2000 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
