Treating a Structural Heart Disease Using a Non-structural Approach: Role of Cardiac Pacing in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common genetic cardiovascular disease characterized by a thickened non-dilated ventricle in the absence of another cardiac or systemic condition. Its most important hemodynamic consequence is left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. The primary management strategy of this condition is surgical septal myectomy, but an acceptable alternative...

Impact of Dual-Chamber Permanent Pacing in Patients With Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy With Symptoms Refractory to Verapamil and j3-Adrenergic Blocker Therapy

Background. Patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with symptoms refractory to drugs (j3-blockers or verapamil) are candidates for cardiac surgery (left ventricular septal myectomy or mitral valve replacement). The present study examines prospectively the ability of dual-chamber (DDD) pacing to improve symptoms and relieve left ventricular outflow obstruction in such patien...

Expressive aphasia in a patient with recent dual-chamber cardioverter-defibrillator implantation: a preventable complication.

Transvenous pacemaker and/or defibrillator lead placement into the left heart chambers is rarely done. Approximately a third of such cases reported in the literature presented with signs of thromboembolism, mostly neurological deficits. We describe a patient who presented with a cerebrovascular accident three months after inadvertent and unrecognized lead placement into the left atrium and vent...

Early complications of permanent pacemaker implantation: no difference between dual and single chamber systems.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the incidence of intraoperative and early postoperative complications (up to two months after implant) of endocardial permanent pacemaker insertion in all patients under-going a first implant at a referral centre. METHODS Prospective evaluation of all endocardial pacemaker implantation procedures performed from April 1992 to January 1994 carried out by completion of stan...

Can we predict complete heart block after alcohol ablation for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?

Block After Alcohol Ablation For Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy? To the Editor: Lakkis et al1 obtained excellent results in their series of 33 patients who had echocardiographically guided septal reduction for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. However, they required permanent pacemaker implantation in a third of their patients. Their possible explanation for the high incidence of this compl...
