Diagnosis and Management of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy is a
unique, multi-authored compendium of information regarding the
complexities of clinical and genetic diagnosis, natural history,
and management of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)--the most

well as related issues impacting the health of trained athletes.
Edited by Dr. Barry J. Maron, a world authority on HCM, and with
major contributions from all of the international experts in this
field, this book provides a single comprehensive source of

discussed, including the importance of left ventricular outflow
tract obstruction, the use of implantable defibrillators for the
prevention of sudden death in young people, definition of the
genetic basis for HCM and its role in clinical diagnosis and risk
stratification, the development of more precise strategies for
assessing the level of risk for sudden death among all patients
with HCM, and the evolution of invasive interventions for heart

(alcohol septal ablation and dual-chamber pacing).
