From the Back Cover
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common genetic heart disease, but has been under-recognized and often misrepresented. However, more recently, the understanding of HCM has evolved and options for diagnosis and treatment have advanced considerably. HCM can now be regarded as a contemporary and treatable disease, compatible with normal or extended longevity.
This book was written by Dr. Barry J. Maron, an authority on HCM, and Ms. Lisa Salberg, Founder of the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Association (HCMA), and herself an HCM patient. This new 3rd edition provides an important update on advances in diagnosis, emerging treatment options, and advice for patients. It is a unique resource and cornerstone of current educational efforts making practical information about HCM accessible to a wide range of patients and physicians.
