Intra- and interatrial electromechanical delay (AEMD) can be used to evaluate the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). Percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation (PTSMA) is an alternative therapy for patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) that results in sustained improvements in atrial structure and function. We investigated the effects of PTSMA on the intra- and inter-AEMD of HOCM patients using tissue Doppler imaging.
