Treatment strategies (improve or relieve the symptoms) Traditionally, b-blockers have been the initial treatment of exertional dyspnea or chest pain (decrease in heart rate, improvement of ventricular filling during diastole, decrease in myocardial oxygen demand, and reduction of sympathetic tone). Alternatively, verapamil has been used effectively in patients who either cannot tolerate a b-blocker (eg, severe asthmatic) or have no initial response to beta-blockade. Disopyramide, a class IA antiarrhythmic drug, used most often in conjunction with a b-blocker, has been used as an alternative to verapamil and may relieve symptoms through its negative inotropic properties. If a patient develops signs of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (ie, congestive heart failure), afterload-reducing agents, b-blockers, digoxin, and judicious use of diuretics are indicated. It is important to note that the administration of a b-blocker or verapamil to patients with HCM does not protect them from sudden death.
Nonpharmacologic therapies are reserved for the minority of patients with HCM who fail medical management. Surgical septal myomectomy Alcohol septal ablation is a newer procedure. This procedure produces a modest infarction of the myocardial septum that results in subsequent akinesis, septal thinning, and fibrosis
