What Is Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy?

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a condition where the myocardium (heart muscle) becomes enlarged, which makes it difficult for the heart to pump blood efficiently. It’s one of the leading causes of heart-related sudden death in people under the age of 35 opens in a new tab.

Many people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have no symptoms. If you do experience symptoms, some of the most common include:

• Chest pain
• Dizziness
• Fainting
