@voka.io: What makes hypertrophic cardiomyopathy a silent threat to your heart? Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic disorder where the heart muscle, particularly the interventricular septum, thickens abnormally. This can disrupt blood flow, leading to symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, or even fainting.   Here’s what happens in HCM: 🔻 The thickened heart muscle stiffens, making it harder for the heart to fill with blood properly.   🔻 In some cases, the thickened septum obstructs blood flow out of the heart, worsening symptoms.   🔻 Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) may develop, increasing the risk of sudden cardiac events.   Diagnosis relies on echocardiography or cardiac MRI, which reveal the extent of muscle thickening and its impact on heart function. Treatment includes beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and, in severe cases, surgical septal myectomy or alcohol ablation to reduce obstruction.   📌 Want to explore how this condition affects heart structure and function in stunning detail?
