A member asked:

Have hcm recently had svt pulse over 220 - troponin levels were 70 on admission -1700 after 30 minutes - what are risks heart failure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diastolic/systolic : Hcm course can be benign but can cause syncope, arrhythmias ( like svt), ischemia, heart failure and brain stroke. Can progress to dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure in 5 to 10% of patients as a result of fibrosis a ventricular remodeling. Atrial fibrillation, 10-20% patients, can precipitate heart failure and stroke. Focus management by close follow up with cardiology.
