Authors' objectives:
The aim of alcohol ablation of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is to induce an artificial myocardial infarction by insertion of pure alcohol into the most proximally situated septal branch of the left anterior descending coronary artery. The infarction-induced contraction disorder leads to a decrease in the intraventricular pressure gradient, shrinkage of the hypertrophied septal bulge, and widening of the outflow tract.
