Key Words Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; Sudden cardiac death; Noninvasive diagnostic testing
Core Tip Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in the young, particularly among athletes. Noninvasive diagnostic testing is important for risk assessment. Extreme left ventricular hypertrophy, documented ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation increase the risk of SCD. Fragmented QRS complex and T wave inversion in multiple leads are more common in high risk patients. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with late gadolinium enhancement, patchy myocardial fibrosis within the area of hypertrophy can be detected, which is also helpful in risk stratification. Genetic testing is encouraged in all cases, especially in those with family history of HCM and SCD.
