Changes in left atrial function, left ventricle remodeling, and fibrosis after septal myectomy for obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
This study aimed to investigate the impact of septal myectomy on left atrial function, left ventricle remodeling, and fibrosis in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. ⋯ Septal myectomy alleviated left ventricle hypertrophy and reversed left atrium and left ventricle remodeling in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Late gadolinium enhancement in the left ventricle increased despite myectomy in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
