Description
Summary:<p>On 22 December 2020, <em>Circulation</em> published the new American College of Cardiology / American Heart Association guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The most important guidelines were those concerning pharmacological and invasive methods of treating symptomatic patients with obstruction of the left ventricular outlet. Considering the most recent clinical studies, the indications for invasive methods of treatment have expanded to include septal myectomy and alcohol septal ablation. A separate section in the guidelines has been devoted to the management of non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. The recommendations for patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmias and severe heart failure have been revised.</p><p>Received 26 March 2021.
