1. Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) Mariela, Lisa, Isaiah and Michelle

3. Arrhythmia- Abnormal heart rhythms

4. Hypertrophied- to be thickened

5. HYPERTROPHIC OBSTRUCTIVE CARDIOMYOPATHY (HOCM)

6. IDIOPATHIC HYPERTROPHIC SUBAORTIC STENOSIS (IHSS) Other Names

8. The right side of the heart consists of the right atrium, the tricuspid valve and the right ventricle.

9. Deoxygenated blood enters through the right side.

10. Then it travels through the pulmonary semi lunar valve into the lungs.

12. Then it travels through the left atrium, bicuspid valve and the left ventricle.

13. Then it goes through the aortic semi lunar valve and out through the aorta.

15. The more thick it becomes, the heart stiffens and the pumping chamber shrinks

16. The thickening interferes with the hearts capability to deliver blood to the bodymyocardium

18. He collapsed July 25, 2007 after a training session

22. It is seen in all ages but it is more severe when you inherit it as a child

23. It also may develop because of high blood pressure or aging

24. Otherwise the causes are unknown

25. There are two ways of inheritance:

26. 60-70% of people develop hypertrophic cardiomyopathy by inheriting a gene that predisposes them to the disease

28. Family history of cardiac arrest

29. History of unexplained fainting

30. Life-threatening heart rhythms

31. Severe heart muscle thickness

33. Fluid and sodium restrictions: If heart failure symptoms are present. Alcohol and caffeine may need to be restricted

34. Exercise: Noncompetitive aerobic activities. Heavy weight lifting and high-intensity sports are not recommended

36. Shortness of breath and fatigue

46. Narrowing in the outlet tract (path blood leaves heart)

47. Hearts functioning

48. Age and level of activity of patient

49. Presence of arrhythmias

51. If people have arrhythmias they will have to take anti-arrhythmic medications

52. Pacemakers are sometimes used

53. If blood flow is severely blocked than surgical myectomy is done to remove the thickest part

55. the heart's lower chambers are not able to pump blood effectively enough to meet the body's needs for oxygen and nutrientsAtrial fibrillation is a common complication of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy interferes with the normal pumping of the heart cause blood clots to develop in the heart, which can break off and travel through the bloodstream (systemic embolism) may cause a stroke, heart attack, or blocked blood flow to an arm or leg.

56. Stats Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy affects an estimated 600,000 to 1.5 million Americans, or one in 500 people or 0.20%. It is more prevalent than multiple sclerosis, which affects one in 700 people. 544,000 people in USA have HCM. About 50% of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy will have a first-degree relative who also has the diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
