Septal ablation (also referred to as alcohol septal ablation) is a minimally invasive technique that treats a heart condition called hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. This is an inherited (genetic) structural heart condition in which certain parts of the heart are thicker than they should be, which can cause fatigue, shortness of breath and a decreased quality of life.
