The Shocking Truth Behind Sudden Heart Failure

What causes sudden heart failure?

Sudden heart failure can occur even in seemingly healthy hearts, often due to Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM).

HCM is a genetic condition where the heart muscle becomes abnormally thick, making it harder for the heart to pump blood.

How timely diagnosis of HCM can save lives?

HCM is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death.

Some patients may have no symptoms, while others may experience breathlessness, chest pain, palpitations, and more.

Early detection and treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can prevent sudden cardiac death.
