title: Alcohol septal ablation for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
abstract: HOCM is a rare disorder of myocardium that may result in asymmetrical left ventricular septal hypertrophy and dynamic outflow obstruction. This may result in hemodynamic sequel that leads to deterioration of functional class in the majority of patients. Alcohol septal ablation may provide symptomatic relief in the majority of patients who fail medical therapy or who experience significantly high outflow gradients.
