Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common genetic heart disease, but has been under-recognized and often misrepresented. However, more recently, the understanding of HCM has evolved and options for diagnosis and treatment have advanced considerably. HCM can now be regarded as a contemporary and treatable disease, compatible with normal or extended longevity.
