Its phenotypical overlap with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, particularly in cases involving left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO), challenges accurate diagnosis. Medical management of LVOTO in ATTR-CM is challenged by the opposing effects of beta-blockers and diuretics.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Case summary<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A 79-year-old male with left ventricular hypertrophy and LVOTO presented with worsening dyspnoea. Full diagnostic work-up confirmed wild-type ATTR-CM. A conservative medical approach with diuretics and beta-blockers proved challenging. Alcohol septal ablation was successfully performed without major complication, resolving the LVOTO and improving symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The diagnosis and management of ATTR-CM with LVOTO are complex. A thorough diagnostic approach is needed to avoid mismanagement. Diuretics and beta-blockers must be carefully balanced to achieve optimal clinical results. Alcohol septal ablation may be considered in patients with persistent symptoms and high LVOT gradients despite optimal medical therapy.<\/jats:p>\n
