The name usually refers to hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, a condition in which the heart muscle thickens abnormally and obstructs the flow of blood out of the left ventricle.
Who treats it? It is the cardiologist who studies and follows this disorder, since it requires a detailed evaluation of how the heart functions.
Common symptoms:
- Shortness of breath with exertion
