Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, abbreviated as HCM, is a condition in which the heart muscle thickens more than normal, which can hinder its function and the passage of blood. It often has a hereditary component.
Common manifestations:
- Shortness of breath, especially with exertion
- Palpitations or a sensation of irregular heartbeats
- Dizziness, fatigue or, at times, fainting
Why does it matter? In some people it runs without obvious symptoms, so a checkup is useful when there is a family history of heart disease.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist is the go-to professional for its study and follow-up; in children the pediatric cardiologist is involved. If you have a family history or heart symptoms, it is advisable to discuss it with a professional for an appropriate evaluation.
