Panel A shows a cross-section of a normal heart (top) and an endomyocardial biopsy sample from a normal heart (bottom; with hematoxylin and eosin staining) that shows normal histologic characteristics ...

Learn when hypertrophic cardiomyopathy becomes severe and how a cardiologist guides you through heart transplant evaluation ...

A small panel of circulating biomarkers may reliably distinguish hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) from similar conditions that cause left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), researchers found. From ...

Focal apical hypertrophy with ace of spades morphology reinforces the diagnostic value of echocardiography in suspected hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

The cardiac myosin inhibitor gets a big win in the SCOUT-HCM trial ...

Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a rare condition where the heart walls thicken at the left ventricle’s apex, making it harder for the ventricle to pump. Symptoms are often vague or absent, but ...

Adolescent patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) who received the drug mavacamten saw a significant ...
