Can you tell me the medical definition of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy ?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Defined.: Most often the portion of the heart between the right and left ventricles (septum) is thickened. This narrows the region below the aortic valve and causes a portion of mitral valve to be sucked into this area during ventricular ejection (emptying). As a result there is narrowing of outflow leading to obsruction.
