To assess the impact of surgical relief of left ventricular outflow obstruction on myocardial perfusion abnormalities in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, 20 symptomatic patients who underwent a septal myectomy or mitral valve replacement were studied with assessment of myocardial perfusion during exercise by 201Tl emission computed tomography before and 6 months after surgery.
