Screening for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Abstract: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited cardiomyopathy and causes changes in the cardiac muscle affecting ventricular, valvular, and cellular functions. Because HCM is an inherited disorder, all age groups are affected; however, it commonly presents in adolescents, especially athletes. Many patients are asymptomatic and undiagnosed, putting them at risk for sudden cardiac death. This article describes screening and management of patients with HCM.

“…Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited cardiac disease that results in left ventricular hypertrophy [ 1 ]. HCM is relatively common [ 2 ], with an incidence of 1 in 500 and some studies suggesting an even higher incidence of 1 in 200 [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. Symptoms, signs, clinical presentation, and prognosis of HCM are highly heterogeneous and complex [ 2 , 4 , 5 , 6 ].…”

“…These mutations can lead to diastolic dysfunction and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction, which can cause an increase in wall tension, increased myocardial oxygen consumption, impaired systolic performance, and mitral insufficiency. Screening is typically predicated on identifying a family history of HOCM and confirmed with "dagger-like" Q waves and large precordial voltages on an electrocardiogram (EKG) and/or increased left ventricular wall thickness (≥15 mm) on an echocardiogram [ 3 ]. Without medical management and intervention, HOCM can result in sudden cardiac death, which is one of the most common causes of cardiac-related mortality in children and adolescents [ 4 ].…”
