title: Dual chamber pacing in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy: a case study.
abstract: Implantation of dual chamber pacemakers for symptoms associated with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy is being evaluated as an alternative treatment. The effectiveness of this intervention involves programming pacemaker parameters specific to the individual patient. We present a case of a patient diagnosed with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy who underwent dual chamber pacemaker implantation for symptoms refractory to medical therapy.
