Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, when present in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, can vary markedly depending upon changes in left ventricular preload, afterload, and contractil-it^.'-^ Indeed, the remarkable variability of the resultant murmur often provides one of the first clues to the dia

We performed transcatheter alcohol ablation of the septum in a case of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. The patient showed marked reduction in LVOT gradient; however, he developed complete atrioventricular (AV) dissociation following the procedure, requiring AV sequential pacing. This import
## Abstract Diastolic and systolic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction often significantly contribute to disabling symptoms in familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC). This study compares regional LV function (midwall circumferential strain) during systole and diastole in eight FHC patients and si
