Case report underscores multidisciplinary SCD risk assessment in familial HCM; leaves open standardized protocols for young adults.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the highest cause of sudden cardiac death in young adults. However, it is a benign condition that affects 1 in 500 of the population. This case study focuses on the diagnosis and management of a 39-year-old male with familial cardiomyopathy. One of the challenges for health care professionals is Identifying those people who are at high risk of sudden death from this condition.
