Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is a genetic heart condition characterized by thickened heart muscle and potential left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. It can cause chest pain, palpitations, dizziness and risk of sudden cardiac death. Diagnosis is made through ECG, echocardiogram and cardiac MRI showing thickened heart muscle and potential obstruction. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms through medications, pacemakers, septal reduction procedures or ICDs to prevent sudden death.
