Popis: The hypertrophic cardiomyopathy may be associated with a variable degree of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. There are several available therapeutic strategies for treatment: pharmacological, dual-chamber pacing, surgery and induced septal infarction. This last one is a novel technique with less experience in practice. We present the clinical case of a patient which showed persistent and severe obstruction in spite of the medications and dual-chamber pacing, and who underwent this novel technique. The results were optimal but new observations arise from this particular case.
