Provides a step-by-step analysis of the diagnosis and management of mild hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, including risk stratification and lifestyle implications.
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.
