Abstract
In this issue of The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, the nicely prepared article by Fatima and colleagues1 describes a retrospective review of patients aged less than 21 years who had surgery for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) or subaortic stenosis (SAS) at Mayo Clinic over the last 6 decades. They found that patients with HCM were older and more symptomatic than patients with SAS. Thirty-day mortality was slightly higher in the HCM group, but survival was similar through the first 10 years. However, during the second decade, patients with HCM had worse survival.
