Myectomy and mitral plastic surgery, the most effective therapy for young patients

The Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy Treatment course is designed to present the impact of obstruction on the quality of life and prognosis of patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. The experiences gained so far with "classic" drugs, such as beta-blockers capable of effectively and safely reducing outflow obstruction and, in some cases, postponing or avoiding surgery, will be discussed. Over the last 2 decades, cardiac surgical experience with myectomy and mitral plasty have significantly improved patients' symptoms and their prognosis. With the introduction of Mavacamten, already available for "compassionate use" for patients over 18 years of age, and perhaps Aficamten in the future, there are prospects for long-term treatment, which currently makes it more suitable for elderly patients and in the future, perhaps, also in young patients, in whom cardiac surgery currently remains a fundamental solution.
