| Abstract |
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most commonly inherited cardiac disease-recent studies suggest a prevalence as high as 1 in 200. For symptomatic patients with obstructive HCM who are refractory to medical therapy, septal reduction is indicated. Septal myectomy (SM) is considered the gold standard septal reduction technique. However, due to a shortage of surgeons who are experienced in this technique, alcohol septal ablation (ASA) has overtaken SM as the most commonly performed procedure for obstructive HCM. In this review, we summarize the existing literature comparing SM with ASA and describe recent innovations in operative technique, including a detailed description of the approach used at our institution. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 April 2018.
All research outputs
#15,506,823
of 23,045,021 outputs
Outputs from General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
#172
of 427 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#291,657
of 474,340 outputs
Outputs of similar age from General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
#2
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,045,021 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 427 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.3. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 474,340 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 4 of them.
