Issues of etiology, pathophysiology and variants of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy course
Studies of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCMP) are still relevant considering the high prevalence of HCMP (1:500) and the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young, able-bodied people. The issues of high interest are search for additional clinico-instrumental and genetic markers and environmental factors, which may induce formation of HCMP clinical variants, and SCD risk and prognosis in HCMP. An important issue requiring further investigation is development of a clear tactics for managing patients based on own experience or results of multicenter studies.
