Abstract

Obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) is a condition typically associated with a gene mutation that causes hypertrophy of the myocardium. It presents with symptoms that worsen as the condition develops, causing severe dyspnoea, chest pain, palpitations, and syncope. Untreated and undiagnosed oHCM is a significant cause of sudden cardiac death in young people, including athletes.
