  • Title: Septal myectomy for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy in Friedreich's ataxia.
    Author: Anderson HN, Burkhart HM, Johnson JN.
    Journal: Cardiol Young; 2016 Jan; 26(1):175-8. PubMed ID: 25687499.
    Abstract:
    Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy associated with Friedreich's ataxia is progressive, and there are few, if any, effective treatments available at present. This case report describes a Friedreich's ataxia patient who had a septal myectomy for the management of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with improved symptoms over a 7-year period. This suggests that septal myectomy may be a viable option to relieve symptoms and interrupt progression of heart disease in appropriately selected Friedreich's ataxia patients.
