  Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a heart condition that affects the muscle of the heart, causing it to thicken abnormally. This thickening can make it difficult for the heart to pump blood effectively, leading to a range of symptoms and potential complications. In this blog, we will explore the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
