| Popis | Highly symptomatic patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) irresponsive to medical therapy are treated with surgical myectomy, dual-chamber pacing or alcohol septal ablation(ASA). Based on single-center studies or national registries it seems that both short- and long-term outcomes of ASA are acceptable. The most frequent major complication associated with ASA is the mostly self-terminating complete heart block (CHB) that occurs in 20–50% of patients and requires permanent pacemaker implantation in 9–20% of all ASA patients [2,3]. Accordingly, this retrospective study was undertaken to evaluate the long-term outcome of patients who underwent early permanent pacemaker implantation due to post-ASA CHB. |
