- Title
Understanding hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: implications of diagnosis for the patient and family.
- Authors
Khan, H.; Guglin, M.
- Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) may be a challenging condition for an internist. The algorithm for work-up and treatment is fairly straight forward when the presentation is classic. However, in the real world, subtle and moderate forms of the disease occur more commonly. We analyse, step by step, diagnosis and management of a patient with mild HCM and review the literature on pertinent questions regarding diagnosis, risk stratification, treatment options and implications for patient's lifestyle and for his family.
