Article Synopsis
- Septal myectomy is the main treatment for patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) who don't respond to medication, but it's often based on subjective judgments.* -
- A new preoperative planning method using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and shape optimization aims to improve objective assessment of how much heart muscle needs to be removed during surgery.* -
- Testing this method on 3 HOCM patients showed significant improvements in blood flow after surgery, suggesting that this approach could enhance preoperative evaluations for future patients.*
