Cardiac catheterization showed a prominent left-ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) pressure gradient, and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) was diagnosed. To reduce LVOT obstruction, we implanted a single-lead VDD-mode pacemaker. Cardiac catheterization after the implantation revealed a remarkable decrease in the LVOT pressure gradient with short atrioventricular delay, 80 msec, and her symptoms disappeared. A singlelead VDD pacemaker is also a useful treatment for an HOCM patient due to the relative ease with which it can be implanted., Acta medica Nagasakiensia. 1999, 44(3-4), p.61-66}, pages = {61--66}, title = {Decreasing the Pressure Gradient of the Left Ventricular Outflow Tract by Single-lead VDD Pacing in a Patient with Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy}, volume = {44}, year = {1999} }
