We report the reduction in left ventricular outflow tract gradient following the intravenous administration of verapamil to two pediatric patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Traditional therapy with beta adrenergic antagonists was relatively contraindicated in both patients. In a 15-year-old patient, the left ventricular outflow tract gradient decreased from 160 torr, at rest, to 45 torr during the verapamil infusion. In a 3-year-old boy, there was a reduction in the left ventricular outflow tract gradient from 60 torr, under basal conditions, to 10 torr during the intravenous verapamil infusion. We believe that verapamil may be effective in reducing the left ventricular outflow tract gradient in some pediatric patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and may be useful in treating selected patients with this disorder. |
