Is apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy cause death?

Usually not but...: The hypertrophic cardiomyopathies are a treacherous group, and even when they run in families, patients differ greatly in how their disease shows itself. Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is best-known in japan and seldom causes trouble. If you feel good, can exercise, and aren't having fainting spells or chest pain, and your physician isn't overconcerned, i would't be either.
