About 1 in 500 people have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). It's a condition where the heart muscle becomes abnormally thick. HCM is one of the most common causes of sudden death among young athletes and otherwise healthy adults.
Recently, the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology released new guidelines.
Dr. Steve Ommen, medical director of the Mayo Clinic Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Clinic and chair of the guideline's writing committee, says with exercise and proper medication management, patients can return to their normal daily routines.
