Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic heart muscle disease caused by a mutation in sarcomere protein genes which encodes for the contractile machinery of the heart which is characterized by an increase in left ventricular wall thickness which causes left ventricular outflow obstruction, diastolic dysfunction, myocardial ischemia, and mitral regurgitation. Symptoms of the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are fatigue, dyspnea, chest pain, palpitations, and syncope.
