Abstract

Atypical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is a relatively rare genetic disorder that can affect the left ventricular system. HOCM can lead to various cardiac issues such as sudden cardiac death (SCD). We report a case of a 19-year-old female who was referred to a cardiology clinic after presenting with bi-ventricular hypertrophy on an echocardiogram (ECHO). Results from screening tests for infiltrative diseases and an iron panel came negative. The patient was asymptomatic, with no functional limitations and no family history of any cardiac disease or sudden death. In conclusion, HOCM can present with an atypical pattern, such as biventricular hypertrophy, and has been linked to SCD; therefore, it is important to be aware of this condition and take the necessary precautions to prevent it.
