Alcohol Septal Ablation

Alcohol septal ablation is a type of treatment for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (a condition in which the heart muscle becomes thick).  When blood flow out of the heart is severely blocked, symptoms can become severe and patients may be given an injection of alcohol into the arteries that feed the thickened part of the heart.
