Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited cardiac disease. The disease is characterized by marked variability in morphological expression and natural history, ranging from asymptomatic to heart failure or sudden cardiac death. Left ventricular hypertrophy and abnormal ventricular configuration result in dynamic left ventricular outflow obstruction in most patients. The goal of pharmacological therapy in HCM is to alleviate the symptoms, and it includes pharmacotherapies and septal reduction therapies. In this review, we summarize the relevant clinical issues and treatment options of HCM.

Background: Myocardial work assessment has emerged as a promising tool for left ventricular (LV) performance evaluation. Existing non-invasive methods for assessing it rely on assumptions on LV pressure and geometry. Recently, shear wave elastography allowed to quantify changes in myocardial stiffness throughout the cardiac cycle.

Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by asymmetric hypertrophy of the ventricles and the ventricular septum, leading to subsequent left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction and diastolic dysfunction. Typically, patients with HCM experience sinus tachycardia and sinus arrest relatively infrequently. In addition, the concurrent occurrence of HCM with non-surgically induced (ablation or myectomy) bradyarrhythmia and idiopathic pericardial effusion in adult patients has not been previously reported.

Introduction: Mutations in the sarcomere protein, particularly in cardiac myosin binding protein C gene (), were the most frequent genetic cause of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The pathogenic MyBPC3 P459fs mutation has been reported in HCM patients. However, there was limited knowledge of the structure-function relationships and potential pathways in clinical HCM with MyBPC3 P459fs mutation.

Background: Systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve is a hallmark feature of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) and a primary cause of dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. This case report highlights an unusual presentation of SAM associated with acute haemodynamic collapse.
Case Summary: A 36-year-old male with HOCM presented with recurrent episodes of syncope.
