title: [Treatment of obstructive cardiomyopathy using myotomy in a 67-year-old patient. Pharmacological and angiographical studies].
abstract: The case is reported of a 67 year old man with obstructive cardiomyopathy treated by an extended myotomy. Serial phonomechanographic tracings and the pre- and post-operative angiograms show the steady progress of the disease towards a major disturbance of left ventricular compliance which became resistant to propranolol, and was partially reversed by myotomy.
