Abstract

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder characterised by a genetic defect resulting in mutation of the sarcomere and consequently myocardial dysfunction. It has a prevalence of 1 in 500 and an important cause of sudden cardiac death. HCM has several variations, with asymmetric septal hypertrophy being most prevalent (90%) while mid-ventricular hypertrophy with apical aneurysm has rarely been reported.
