Mitral Valve in Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Abnormalities, Management and Controversies

Obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (obstructive HCM) is a hereditary disease characterized by septal hypertrophy and dynamic left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. Other than hypertrophy, mitral valve abnormalities are also quite common in patients with obstructive HCM, which may contribute to systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the LVOT Surgical myectomy standard treatment achieve anatomic correction but controversies remain on whether how procedures should be performed at same time. In this review, we first described HCM their surgical corrections, then explained based current clinical studies, finally made brief introduction our strategy results.
