What is hoacham of the heart?!


Question: You mean HOCM (hypertrofied occlusive cardiomyopathy). This is a disease of the heart muscle, an inherited condition, in which the septum (the muscle between the right and left heart chambers) is asymetrically thickened (hypertrophied) and causes narrowing of the outlet (outflow tract) of the left heart chamber (ventricle). In time of bodily exertion one can collaps because of not enough blood being pumped out into the body due to the narrowing of the outflow tract. This is one of the causes of young athletes dying during a race or some other extreme bodily exertion. Usually the ECG is abnormal, the condition is diagnosed by echocardiography, and can be treated with drugs to slow down the heart rate by cardiologist and/or cardiosurgeons who will resect (cut away) of inject the muscle with alcohol to make it die off and get thinner the excessive muscle mass narrowing of the outflow tract.
