Exercise Echocardiography in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Journal Title: Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiology - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a relatively frequent genetic disease that affects 1/500 human beings. Main problems with this disease are the development of symptoms in 10-20% of affected individuals, and the increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in a subset of patients with the disease. It is important to clarify the cause of symptoms and to assess the risk of sudden death in HCM because we do have therapies to relief these problems.
