ABSTRACT
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is a complex cardiac disorder of genetic origin. Though the patients may be asymptomatic the stress of surgery and anaesthesia is known to exacerbate the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction leading to catastrophic complications. We hereby report a successful anaesthetic management of a patient with left intertrochantric fracture diagnosed with HOCM. Careful and meticulous strategies to prevent LVOT obstruction led to entire uneventful introperative and perioperative course.
