Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic cardiovascular disorder characterized by the abnormal thickening of the heart muscle, particularly the left ventricle. This condition can lead to various complications such as heart failure, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death. HCM is often inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning a single copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder.
