Popis: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a disease that is usually unresponsive to conservative pathogenetic therapy. It does not have clearly developed surgical correction algorithms. Heart transplantation (HTx) is the sole therapeutic option when drug therapy is ineffective and surgical reduction of hypertrophic myocardium is not feasible. There are only sporadic reports in the literature about HTx for HCM. The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly affected the work of cardiac surgical units and, in particular, organ transplantation activities. This paper presents a clinical case of an HCM patient who underwent HTx, complicated by COVID-19 infection in the early postoperative period.
