The diagnosis of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy in a 50-year-old man was confirmed by left-heart catheterization and echocardiography, the diagnosis having first been made some years earlier. Both his brother and his children have the same disease. The patient had several cardioversions for recurrent atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular rate. Because conservative treatment failed to give a satisfactory result, transaortic myotomy and myectomy were performed. Clinical examination eight months postoperatively showed that the patient's general condition had markedly improved, there was sinus rhythm, and the signs of left ventricular hypertrophy had regressed.
