Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) presenting in childhood is most commonly caused by sarcomeric variants, with the (3-myosin heavy chain (MYH7) or myosin-binding protein C (MYBPC3) genes most frequently implicated.1,2 We have recently described the clinical presentation and outcomes of children ...
Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is caused by mutations in genes that code for sarcomere proteins which form muscle. Click to enlarge. HCM is usually caused by genetic mutations in the smooth muscle sarcomere (engine of the muscle cells). It can be inherited (familial, autosomal dominant) or ...
How Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Is Diagnosed Story Is HCM All In the Family? Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is usually caused by gene mutations, but having a mutation doesn't necessarily mean you'll develop it. What to Expect With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Treatment ...
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is caused by dominant mutations in sarcomere genes. Although the diagnosis of HCM is traditionally based on identifying unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) by cardiac imaging, LVH is not an invariable feature of disease. The expression of LVH is highly age...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a diverse clinical and pathophysiologic entity that involves principally the left ventricle and is caused by asymmetric or concentric hypertrophy of unknown cause. If asymmetric, the hypertrophy is usually greates in the ventricular septum, but variations occur in which the ...
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common genetic (autosomal dominant) cardiovascular disease, the incidence is 0.2% in the general adult population but fre- quently unrecognized, and is the most common cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in the young. HCM can pres- ent clinically ...
Following the prescribed treatment plan among hypertrophic cardiomyopathy individuals assists in countering the disease progression. Also, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is triggered by hypertension; thus, patients with this condition adopt mechanisms for achieving healthy blood pressure....
A B S T R A C T Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic disease caused by a variety of mutations in proteins, mostly but not exclusively, of the cardiac sarcomere. It is characterized by hypertrophy of the left ventricle (LV), often with obstruction of the LV outflow tract (LVOT...
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in sarcomeric proteins. The disease is characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy in the absence of an increased external load, and myofibrillar disarray. A large number of mutations in genes coding for the β-...
