Diagnosis of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Video
|Though echocardiography is the sheet anchor of diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, clinical evaluation is equally important while deciding management and ruling out differential diagnoses.

Interesting clinical findings and cardiac cath findings are discussed for the benefit of post graduate students. There is also a role for genetic evaluation being an inherited disorder.
