At a glance
HCM and septal myectomy clinics and specialist centres differ in the anatomy they treat, techniques they offer and evidence they publish. Septal myectomy removes selected thickened heart muscle to relieve obstruction in symptomatic HCM. The operation can also address contributing mitral or supporting structures. HCM care and rhythm-risk assessment continue after obstruction is treated.
6 named clinics and specialist centres
Cleveland Clinic, Zhejiang Provincial People’s Hospital, Policlinico di Monza, NYU Langone and other named teams.
Tongji’s team developed transapical beating-heart myectomy, reaching the septum through the heart’s apex without cardiopulmonary bypass in the studied technique.
Preserving the breastbone removes a major recovery burden: healing a surgically divided sternum. Daily movement can focus on comfort, the chest-wall wound and gradually rebuilding activity.
Myectomy carries surgical and conduction risks, including a possible pacemaker. It treats obstruction rather than every aspect of HCM; small-incision cohorts do not prove faster full recovery than matched conventional surgery.
How these clinics and specialist centres were selected
This list contains 6 clinics and specialist centres with a documented hcm and septal myectomy focus in our source-linked directory. It is an editorial shortlist, not a census or an outcome ranking.
Institutional expertise and published study results are identified separately. An individual doctor may participate in several treatment pathways; a study of one procedure does not establish outcomes for another.
