Abstract

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a primary cardiac disease characterized by increased left ventricular wall thickness and normal or decreased cavity dimension [1, 2]. Abnormalities of left ventricular function are common in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and involve either diastole, systole, or both. The discussion will be focused on the pathophysiologic mechanisms and clinical implications of the diastolic and systolic abnormalities in this disease.
