Medications, Procedures, and Lifestyle Guidance

HOCM is a condition where the heart muscle thickens, making it harder for blood to flow out of the heart and sometimes causing irregular heart rhythms. Symptoms can include shortness of breath, chest pain, or fainting, particularly during exertion. Early diagnosis and careful management help reduce complications and improve quality of life.

Treatment & Management:

• Medications to help the heart muscle relax and improve blood flow
• Procedures to reduce thickened tissue if needed
• ICD placement for patients with high-risk features
• Guidance on safe activity levels
