Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a disease occurring in which the heart muscle abnormally thickens, which in turn makes pumping blood harder.
According to the Cleveland clinic, HCM affects 1 in every 500 people in the United States.

-It requires medical checkup, lab test, or imaging to find the cause
-HCM can go undiagnosed in many cases.
-It is usually inherited.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a heart disease in which heart muscle cells enlarge and cause walls of the ventricles to thicken, mitral valve changes, and cellular changes make harder for heart to pump blood. Most people may not have any symptoms or experience any problem in daily life.
