Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common genetic cardiovascular disease. Outflow-tract gradient of 30 mmHg or more under resting conditions is an independent determinant of symptoms of progressive heart failure and death.
The investigators hypothesize that the electrical approach by dual chamber pacing could improve symptoms and reduce outflow-tract obstruction in a specific sub-group of selected patients with a mechanical hyper-synchronicity. The aim of the study is to identify and describe this phenomenon in HCM with (O-HCM) and without (NO-HCM) outflow-tract obstruction thanks to innovative multi-imaging approach.
