Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy | Treatment Algorithms | US | 2019

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is disease characterized by thickening of the myocardium, leading to left ventricular hypertrophy. The disease commonly has a genetic underpinning, and is often associated with mutations in sarcomere genes. Symptom presentation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy varies widely based on the site and extent of hypertrophy; patients may be asymptomatic or may experience fatigue, dyspnea, chest pain, and/or other manifestations. Although the evidence base for drug treatment in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is somewhat limited, the ACCF and AHA provide management guidelines, with beta blockers and calcium-channel blockers generally serving as the cornerstone of treatment.
