Guo Zhi Hospital Operating Room
Called out to put on surgical gown and stand by the operating table, Xie Wanying helps the teacher observe the surgical field again, verifying the three-dimensional image in her brain, pointing out: "Teacher Du, there are several types of myocardial hypertrophy. This patient has reached the depth of central hypertrophy."
Myocardial hypertrophy, also known as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, is divided into three types, mainly based on whether there is obstruction of the Left Ventricle outflow tract. Non-obstructive and latent obstruction may be reversible and are not within the scope of surgical indications, hence myocardial hypertrophy does not necessarily require surgery. Only the obstructive type requires surgical intervention.
