Overview

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (Hypertrophic CardioMyopathy=HCM) remains a poorly understood disease with an assumption insufficiently codified. There is no data available in France on the profile of patients, diagnostic methods and assessment and therapeutic use.

The purpose of this study is to establish a monitoring of patients with HCM (sarcomere of origin or not) in France (diagnosis, treatment)
