Abstract
Surgical myectomy performed to relieve outflow obstruction and severe symptoms in HCM was associated with long-term survival equivalent to that of the general population, and superior to obstructive HCM without operation. In this retrospective study, septal myectomy seems to reduce mortality risk in severely symptomatic patients with obstructive HCM.
