Hello all who are more knowledgeable about this than I am. I have been told that I am not a candidate for myectomy because I don't have an obstruction. Can someone help me to understand why it is that a thinning of the septum alone can't be helpful? That is, why does myectomy work with and not without an outflow obstruction?
Many thanks for any info you can provide. My local cardiologist is a good guy but no expert on HCM and had thought I could have a myectomy until we learned that I "needed" the obstruction to be a candidate, so he is no more knowledgeable than I am on this issue.
