Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic condition that causes the heart muscles to thicken, leading to stiffness and changes in the heart structure. This can result in complications such as arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat), cardiac arrest, heart failure, and blocked blood flow. Treatment aims to prevent disease progression, manage underlying conditions, reduce complications, and control symptoms. Lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a moderate weight and quitting smoking, can also help manage the condition.
