Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Guide
• HCM is a condition where areas of heart muscle become thickened and stiff. • The thickening makes it harder for the heart to contract and pump blood out to the body. • Depending on where the thickening is, it can affect how blood flows out of the heart (referred to as ‘HCM with obstruction’ or ‘HOCM’).

testing on your heart (an echocardiogram) and heart rhythm testing (electrocardiogram). The characteristic thickening of the heart walls is usually visible on the echocardiogram. What causes hypertrophic cardiomyopathy? HCM is often due to a gene mutation (change in the genetic instructions) that causes the heart muscle to gradually thicken ...

Unlike thickening of the walls in response to a physical stress (e.g. weight lifting, or running marathons) where the thickening occurs to deal with the extra work load placed on the heart, th e thickening with HCM is not normal. The degree to which the muscle walls thicken ultimately

thickening of the heart walls is usually visible on the echo. Other tests may include blood tests, electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, exercise stress echo test, cardiac catheterization and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). How is HCM treated? The type of HCM treatment prescribed depends on: Whether there is narrowing in the outflow tract

is when there is localized thickening at the tip of the heart. With asymmetric septal hypertrophy, it can occur with obstruction or without obstruction. Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), also known as idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis (IHSS), is when the thickened heart muscle restricts blood flow out of the heart. Obstruction can cause the heart’s mitral valve ...

thickening of the septum (wall separating the pumping chambers), posterior wall or both. With hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), the muscle thickening restricts the flow of blood out of the heart. Often, leakage of the mitral valve causes the blood in the lower chamber (left ventricle) to leak back into the upper chamber (left ...

Hypertrophic means thickening so fully translated HCM means ‘thick heart muscle disease.’ Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the most common acquired heart disease in cats but very rare in dogs. HCM is a primary heart muscle disease where the muscular walls of the ventricles become abnormally thickened (hypertrophied). This thickening

Other causes of diffuse wall thickening include infiltrative processes, such as gallblad- der carcinoma, and hyperplastic changes, as seen in adenomyomatosis, although these may also present with focal thickening.
