[SCD-FORUM] 8E A female with burned-out phase of HCM? Dr. Alizadeh

[SCD Symposium]

Dear Dr Dubner

   thank you for this excellent  educational site

   A 38 year old femal referred to our center with new onset dyspnea  
from a few month ago. She had family history of sudden cardia death.  
She had CHB with wide ventricular escape rhythm. TT.echocardiography  
revealed sever LV and RV systolic dysfunction, asymetric septal  
hyperthrophy, pulmonary hypertention (PAP=65-70mmhg) and without LVOT  
gradient.patient,s dyspnea improved with low dose diuretics , ACE  
inhibitor and TPM implantation.
   Do you recommend DDD pacemaker for this patient?
   or
   Do you recommend  ICD-DR or ICD-CRT?

   what is your opinion about clinical course of her disease?

   does she need further workup before device implantation?

   sincerely yours
