Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a disease in which the heart muscle (myocardium) becomes abnormally thick —or hypertrophied.
This thickened heart muscle can make it harder for the heart to pump blood. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy often goes undiagnosed, because many of those with HCM have few, if any, symptoms.
In a small number of people with this condition, the thickened heart muscle can cause problems in the heart's electrical system resulting in life-threatening abnormal heart rhythms, or arrhythmias.
