Abstract
HighlightsWe report a case of a patient with extreme hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and complex cardiac pathology undergoing heart transplantation. The article will be useful for cardiologists, therapists and cardiovascular surgeons. AbstractWe present a case of a patient with extreme hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome and nonspecific chronic exudative pericardial effusion with recurrent idiopathic transudative pericardial effusion. This case involves several approaches to treatment – medication and surgery for treating a patient with combined cardiomyopathy and pericardial effusion, which served as a “bridge” for a later change inro radical treatment - orthotopic heart transplantation.
