  • Title: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: individualized therapy for a heterogeneous disease.
    Author: Sherrid MV, Sirak T.
    Journal: Minerva Cardioangiol; 2008 Dec; 56(6):671-92. PubMed ID: 19092743.
    Abstract:
    It is now 50 years since the modern description of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The initial descriptions foretold the current efforts towards sudden death prevention, alleviation of heart failure symptoms and angina, relief of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, preparticipation athletic screening, family screening and genetic testing. The authors review the salient features of HCM, focusing on therapeutic strategies to manage its symptoms and attempts to prevent sudden death.
