Summary
Hyperthropic cardiomyopathy is an overgrowth of heart muscle that can impair blood flow both into and out of the heart.
Abnormal thickening of the heart wall is one of the results of such disease. The thickening can occur in several places throughout the ventricles.
Usually it occurs in the septum between the two ventricles just beneath the aortic valve. This is sometimes called idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis.
The overgrowth creates a bulge that protrudes into the ventricular chamber and impedes the flow of blood from the heart to the aorta and the rest of the body.
When this obstruction is present, the cardiomyopathy is called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
In this article we present the comprehensice description of the disease with symptoms, diagnostic methods and treatment.
