Diastolic Ventricular Interaction and the Effects of Biventricular Pacing in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Diastolic Ventricular Interaction and the Effects of Biventricular Pacing in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

The primary aim of this study will be to assess whether Biventricular pacing improves exercise capacity, and Quality of Life in patients with symptomatic drug resistant Non-Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, using a Biventricular pacemaker.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Symptomatic Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy,

Exclusion Criteria:

• Rhythm other than normal sinus Left ventricular outflow tract gradient greater than 30mmHg Inability to exercise v02 max greater than 70% of predicted.
