  • Title: [The treatment of obstructive hypertrophic myocardiopathy refractory to medical therapy].
    Author: Cardim N, Longo S, Gouveia D, Lousada N, Rodrigues M, Ferreira T, Pereira AT, Correia JM.
    Journal: Rev Port Cardiol; 1995 Dec; 14(12):1051-5, 989. PubMed ID: 8562115.
    Abstract:
    Until a few years ago, therapy of refractory Hypertrophic Obstructive cardiomyopathy was mainly surgical--Morrow's myotomy/myectomy or mitral valve replacement. Despite the good results of these techniques, they are not free of mortality and morbidity. In the last years a new and promising therapy has been developed: the Dual Chamber Pacemaker. Technically easier and less invasive than surgery, this therapy has achieved better results and lower mortality and morbidity during the follow-up.
