Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy by https://padlet.com/sar2239641/rexymsc36h9e9os4 By Sara Jones en-us 2022-11-17 17:43:14 UTC 2022-11-17 18:41:35 UTC hello@padlet.com What is HCM? sar2239641 https://padlet.com/sar2239641/rexymsc36h9e9os4/wish/2388732668 Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is a disease where the heart muscles become thickened, sometimes making it harder for the heart to pump blood. It is typically caused by gene mutations and usually inherited by a parent. If one parent has the disease, the child will have a 50% chance of having that same gene mutation. ]]> 2022-11-17 17:53:34 UTC https://padlet.com/sar2239641/rexymsc36h9e9os4/wish/2388732668 Complications of HCM sar2239641 https://padlet.com/sar2239641/rexymsc36h9e9os4/wish/2388746455 HCM can cause sudden cardiac death to anyone who has this disease, healthy or not. Because some people don't know they have HCM, this can be the first sign of the condition. It can also cause heart failure by the heart becoming too stiff to pump an efficient amount of blood out to the body. ]]> 2022-11-17 18:03:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sar2239641/rexymsc36h9e9os4/wish/2388746455 Signs and symptoms of HCM sar2239641 https://padlet.com/sar2239641/rexymsc36h9e9os4/wish/2388750056 -Chest pain, especially during exercise.
-Fainting, especially during or after exercise. 
-Heart murmur, detectable by health care provider. 
-Shortness of breath ]]> 2022-11-17 18:05:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sar2239641/rexymsc36h9e9os4/wish/2388750056 Picture 1 sar2239641 https://padlet.com/sar2239641/rexymsc36h9e9os4/wish/2388756754 This is an illustrated example of a healthy heart next to one with HCM. In the heart with HCM, the ventricular septum is much thicker, and the left ventricle is much smaller. ]]> 2022-11-17 18:10:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sar2239641/rexymsc36h9e9os4/wish/2388756754 Picture 2 sar2239641 https://padlet.com/sar2239641/rexymsc36h9e9os4/wish/2388762685 In this picture, it shows the difference between a real heart with HCM and without it. A is a healthy heart, and B is a heart that has HCM. ]]> 2022-11-17 18:14:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sar2239641/rexymsc36h9e9os4/wish/2388762685 Prevention sar2239641 https://padlet.com/sar2239641/rexymsc36h9e9os4/wish/2388773729 There is no known way to prevent HCM, however it is important to identify if you have the condition early. Once the condition is identified, doctors can begin working to stop the disease from getting worse. It is also important to reduce the complication and risk of sudden cardiac arrest and to reduce symptoms so you can live as long as possible. This can be down by medications, self care, and devices. ]]> 2022-11-17 18:21:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sar2239641/rexymsc36h9e9os4/wish/2388773729 Picture 3 sar2239641 https://padlet.com/sar2239641/rexymsc36h9e9os4/wish/2388782335 This image compares a MRI of a healthy heart (right), and one with HCM (left). You can see how the ventricles are affected and squished to the sides. ]]> 2022-11-17 18:27:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sar2239641/rexymsc36h9e9os4/wish/2388782335 Picture 4 sar2239641 https://padlet.com/sar2239641/rexymsc36h9e9os4/wish/2388787467 This graph shows when patients (of certain ages) died of HCM. ]]> 2022-11-17 18:30:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sar2239641/rexymsc36h9e9os4/wish/2388787467 Picture 5 sar2239641 https://padlet.com/sar2239641/rexymsc36h9e9os4/wish/2388791630 This picture shows how it gets harder for the heart to pump blood with HCM. ]]> 2022-11-17 18:32:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sar2239641/rexymsc36h9e9os4/wish/2388791630 For more information.. sar2239641 https://padlet.com/sar2239641/rexymsc36h9e9os4/wish/2388799954 Visit the Mayo Clinic website.
