Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
MONDO:0005045A condition in which the myocardium is hypertrophied without an obvious cause. The hypertrophy is generally asymmetric and may be associated with obstruction of the ventricular outflow tract.
Also known as: hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic subaortic stenosis, obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, HCM - hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
