The clinical spectrum of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is complex and
includes a variety of phenotypes, which leads to different types of
manifestations. Although most of the patients are asymptomatic, a significant
proportion of them will develop symptoms or risk of arrhythmias and sudden
cardiac death (SCD). Therefore, the objectives of HCM diagnosis and management
are to relieve the patients' symptoms (chest pain, heart failure, syncope,
palpitations, etc.), prevent disease progression and major cardiovascular
complications and SCD. The heterogeneity of HCM patterns, their symptoms and
assessment is a challenge for the cardiologist.
