9. Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Our hearts are made almost entirely of muscle. This is necessary because they will be hard at work all day, every day, supplying our body with the blood that we need. We need to keep this muscle, and the other tissues, in good health to ensure that that the heart continues to work as well as it possibly can.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a condition where the patient’s heart muscles become thicker. This will affect their ability to pump, and this can result in a number of rather unwelcome symptoms. Symptoms of the condition include chest pain, an irregular heartbeat, and breathlessness.
