Other hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - what does this mean
Other hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a form of heart disease where the walls of the heart become thickened and stiff, making it difficult for the heart to pump blood effectively. this condition can be caused by a variety of genetic and environmental factors, such as high blood pressure, obesity, and family history of the condition.
What happens during the disease - other hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Other hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a form of cardiomyopathy caused by an underlying genetic mutation. this mutation alters the structure and function of the heart muscle, leading to an increase in the size of the heart muscle. this increased size of the heart muscle can lead to an obstruction of the blood flow from the heart, resulting in an increased risk of arrhythmias, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death.
