Review Meta Analysis
[Anesthetic management of patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy undergoing non-cardiac surgery].
A considerable amount of data are available regarding cardiac risk in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing non-cardiac surgery, but few data are available regarding risk for patients with cardiomyopathy. ⋯ Careful planning is inevitable in anesthesia for patients with HOCM. Although the rate of major perioperative complications is relatively low, they can occur unexpectedly and resemble the natural course of HOCM. In order to clearly elucidate risk factors for adverse perioperative outcomes, further analysis will be necessary as more cases are documented.
