ABSTRACT

A 16- year- old female patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy diagnosed 12 days after birth was presented in this paper. This is a genetic autosomal dominant inheritance disease characterized by increased muscle mass and myofibrillar disarray with high risk of sudden death, which has no racial or ethnic bias. It has a prevalence of 1 / 500 families. Affected patients usually have abnormal intramural coronary arteries, and the dynamic pressure gradient across the outflow tract of the left ventricle is the most representative of this disease.The degree of obstruction varies from patient to patient.
