  		Figure 1 Changes in Intracardiac Conduction During TASH

Changes in intracardiac conduction before (ruled bars) and after TASH (open bars). AH = atrium-to-proximal-His; AV = atrioventricular; AVN = atrioventricular node; HV = distal-His-to-ventricle; TASH = transcoronary ablation of septal hypertrophy; WP ante = antegrade Wenckebach point.

  		Figure 2 Prevalence of BBB

Occurrence of bundle branch block (BBB) before (upper panel) and after TASH (lower panel). LBB = left bundle branch; RBB = right bundle branch; TASH = transcoronary ablation of septal hypertrophy.

  		Figure 3 Intraprocedural Complete Heart Block

Example of the development of intraprocedural complete heart block. Intracardiac His bundle ECG and surface ECG during TASH. (Left) Absence of complete heart block immediately before ethanol injection. (Right) Infra-His block after ethanol injection. Sinus rhythm was restored spontaneously after 5 min in this patient. A = atrial potential; ECG = electrocardiogram; His = His potential; TASH = transcoronary ablation of septal hypertrophy; V = ventricular potential.
