I am having the septal ablation at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, N Y. Dr. Srihari S. Naidu is the Interventional Cardiologist doing the procedure. I was evaluated at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Mn. last Sept. by Dr. Stephen Ommen and he recommended alcohol septal ablation because of my age. I am 80 y.o. I recently had a cardiac cath (Dr, Naidu) and I have no blockages and my mitral valve does not need repair.

I hope that you have good success with Dr. Naidu. I have heard others speak highly of him. If Dr. Ommen recommended you get an ablation, then I am confident that you are having the right procedure. I wish you the best of luck.

As I understand it, with ASA, the results are not always apparent right away as the muscle continues to shrink for some time.

Thank you for your good wishes. I will report back on the outcome of my ASA in the future. I have the utmost confidence I Dr. Naidu.
