Patient's question:
I have had myocarditis since I was a child and have always been very concerned about it. I have also been afraid to engage in strenuous exercise and avoid extremely cold and spicy foods, but I still haven't managed to control it well. During a follow-up examination, it was found that I have asymmetric obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. How is asymmetric obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy treated?Doctor's answer:
The patient has been carefully examined for asymmetric obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a chromosomal genetic disease. The main symptoms include dyspnea, fatigue, and chest pain behind the sternum after exercise. It is prone to atrial fibrillation, and a systolic murmur is often heard in the left 3-4 intercostal space of the sternum. Treatment requires strict prohibition of strenuous exercise, regular rest to prevent sudden cardiac death. Medications such as metoprolol sustained-release tablets are prescribed to relieve left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
