| Core Tip |
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic myocardial disease marked by increased left ventricle (LV) wall thickness in the absence of abnormal loading conditions. Differentiating HCM from other conditions with LV hypertrophy, such as hypertension, aortic stenosis, or LV non-compaction (LVNC), can be challenging. LVNC is characterized by excessive LV trabeculation and deep recesses, affecting up to 5% of the general population. While typically benign, LVNC can occasionally lead to systolic dysfunction and arterial embolism. The overlap between HCM and LVNC, including genetic mutations and clinical features, raises the question of whether they are distinct diseases or variations of the same condition. |
