Abstract
In patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HOCM), the decision for an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) depends highly on the exact identification of the etiology of syncope. In this article, the case of a patient with HOCM and syncope is reported. Invasive pressure measurement was used to diagnose a typical case of cough syncope as the cause of the syncope.
