Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart in which the heart muscle, especially that of the left ventricle, thickens more than normal, which can make it harder to pump blood.
Common symptoms: Some people notice no discomfort, while others have shortness of breath, palpitations, chest pain, or dizziness, especially with exertion.
Common causes: It usually has a hereditary component, so it may be seen in several members of the same family.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist is the point of reference, with the pediatric cardiologist for the youngest patients and the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon in selected cases. With cardiac symptoms or a family history, a professional evaluation is advisable.
