Treatments and side effects.
Treatments for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, depending on the condition of the heart and the severity of symptoms, to reduce pressure on the heart and relieve symptoms.

Drugs

Big muscle in Ho Chi Minh blocks blood flow.

Drugs can help to relax the heart and to reduce the degree of disability, it can make the heart pump blood more efficiently. Beta-blockers and calcium channel families are frequently prescribed medications. For more information, see the usual drugs for the treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Antibiotics are used to prevent bacterial endocarditis. Precautions to prevent bacterial endocarditis should go always someone with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and obstruction or following leakage of the mitral valve. For a detailed description.
Myectomie (surgery)

This is the surgical removal of part of the muscles are reduced to the obstruction of flow. Myectomie is open heart surgery and should be performed in an experimentImplementing medical center for specialized equipment, including cardio-vascular surgeons, cardiologists and anesthesiologists. Is used, if not alleviate the symptoms and medications.

As part of the muscle wall myectomie is removed to reduce the disability.
A successful operation was significantly improved symptoms in more than 90 percent of patients. The documented long-term outcome is excellent. Information suggests that a subgroup of patients who have symptoms and live a myectomie longer than would have without the operation. For patients who have a myectomie, the survival rate of 99 percent per year in five years 98 percent and 10 years, 95 percent. Compared with patients who do not myectomie those year survival rate is 94 percent in five years, 89 percent in 10 years, 73 percent.

The risk of an open-heart surgery depends on the patient's general health and age. However, in a smaller, healthy people, the general risk in experienced centers, in May, less than 1 percent. In the Mayo ClinicMinnesota, conducted more than 700 operations were myectomie and the Mayo Clinic is one of the most experienced centers in the world.

Septal Ablation
This is a new technique in which an alcohol solution is in an artery that feeds the thickening of the muscle that causes obstruction injected. The result is a localized "heart attack" in this region of the heart muscle and reduces the degree of disability.

This procedure is relatively new information from research studies suggest that their results with those of myectomie operation only. However, safety problems will be solved in the long run, not all patients have the anatomy of the heart, they may be candidates for septal ablation.

In all three locations, Mayo Clinc, septum, is only the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.
Cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD)

Some patients, also known as "high risk", an automatic implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs) are recommended. With new advances in technology, dEVICE can now be configured as a pacemaker. In general, the implantation is performed at the hospital and requires an overnight stay short.

A small device placed under the skin just below the collarbone and connected to the son of lead through the vein into the heart chamber. The IACD heart rate monitor continuously. It can restore normal heart rhythm by pacemaker functions and / or small electric shocks.
Pacemaker

Pacemakers have been used to alleviate the symptoms of outflow tract obstruction, but unfortunately, the results of this treatment were not homogeneous. Do in general, pacemakers do not provide the same level of relief when other options. Pacemakers are used now only in special circumstances in the treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

There is a new procedure, but I'm not sure that it is for the general public, but opening the chest and is actually cutting a portion of the enlarged section and sew them back together. The results were promising. There are also some promising results of a drug in the United Kingdom uses, but I do not know what will soon be here. If you set the treatment of cardiac hypertrophy in the online search, you will see many results.
