What people are affected by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?

HCM: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy doesn't occur in any particular frequency in one group of people over another. It is relatively uncommon, being seen in about 1 in 500 people in the general population. However, it occurs in a hereditary form more than 50% of the time and therefore relatives of people with this disease should be screened for it.

Depends: If its severe it usually affects atheletes and active people pts can have an arrythmia leading to sudden death. It can cause pts to faint. Especially if dehydrated. Treatment with a beta blocker and maybe a defibrillator.

Hypertrophic : It is a genetic disease, if you have it in your parents/ family there's a higher chance
