      Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy — a thickening of the heart muscle — can obstruct the flow of blood to the body and is associated with disturbances in the heart's electrical signals. It is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young athletes and is among the more common inherited cardiovascular diseases, affecting

      Cardiomyopathy is a heart condition that prevents the heart muscle from functioning normally. Some forms of cardiomyopathy are associated with an enlargement and weakening of the heart muscle. Other forms are associated with a stiffening of the heart muscle so that it can't relax and fill with blood effectively. In both cases, the blood isn't

      in young people [1]. In HCM patients, a portion of the heart muscle (myocardium) is thickened (hypertrophied). The most consistent trait of HCM is the thickening of the muscle at the lower left chamber of the heart (left ventricle). An imaging method, two-dimensional echocardiography, is often used to identify left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).

      Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a primary disease of heart muscle that causes pro-gressive muscle thicken-ing of the left ventricle, the main pumping chamber of the heart. This thickening, called hypertrophy, reduces the ability of the ventricle to fill and results in a backup of blood into the left atrium, the chamber above the left
