Relief of sever left ventricular outflow obstruction in a case of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy treated with practolol.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The clinical and haemodynamic findings in a patient with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and severe left ventricular outflow obstruction are presented. Treatment with an increasing dose of orally administered practolol up to a maximum of 1200 mg a day, resulted in symptomatic improvement, and abolition of the resting gradient when the patient was recatheterized six months later.

Impact of Surgical Relief of Outflow Obstruction
Background. To assess the impact of surgical relief of left ventricular outflow obstruction on myocardial perfusion abnormalities in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, 20 symptomatic patients who underwent a septal myectomy or mitral valve replacement were studied with assessment of myocardial perfusion during exercise by 20UT1 emission computed tomography before and 6 month...
متن کاملModification of atrioventricular conduction as adjunct therapy for pacemaker-treated patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
AIMS Atrioventricular synchronous pacing offers symptomatic relief for patients with drug-refractory hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Successful treatment requires complete right ventricular apical pre-excitation. Enhanced atrioventricular conduction renders this difficult in some patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether selective prolongation of atrioventricular conducti...
متن کامل[Left ventricular remodeling in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy treated with percutaneous alcohol septal ablation: an echocardiographic study].
INTRODUCTION In patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, obstruction in the left ventricular outflow tract may generate more hypertrophy. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of reducing ventricular outflow tract obstruction on left ventricular hypertrophy and remodeling after alcohol septal ablation. PATIENTS AND METHOD 20 patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy who...
متن کاملThe value of magnetic resonance imaging of the left ventricular outflow tract in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy after septal artery embolization.
BACKGROUND We tested the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the follow-up of patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy after septal artery embolization. MRI provides a noninvasive visualization of transplanar turbulent flow in order to quantify left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. METHODS AND RESULTS We followed 10 patients who were treated with septal artery embo...
متن کاملDifficult anesthesia management in a case of living donor liver transplantation with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
Liver transplantation with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy is associated with acute hemodynamic changes, which can exacerbate left ventricular outflow tract obstruction during surgery. Therefore, selection of general anesthetic agents is important, as most can result in hemodynamic instability by reducing systemic vascular resistance and blood pressure. We report successful anesthetic m...
