Sigmoid ventricular septum treated with endocardial ablation to improve left ventricular outflow: cases report

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Patients experiencing LVOTO may manifest symptoms such as angina, syncope, etc. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been utilized to treat patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, but there is no reports on its use in treating LVOTO resulting from SVS. After RFA was performed, the patient's symptoms significantly improved.

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Angina is another common symptom due the hypertrophy which causes a coronary supply demand mismatch Symptoms of HCM include syncope/near syncope, which could be precipitated by exertion, hypovolemia, rapid standing, Valsalva manoeuvre, diuretics, vasodilators or arrhythmia. The role of cath now a days is mostly for septal ablation.
