In this episode, we explore types of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) other than idiopathic HCM and obstructive HCM, including apical HCM, Fabry's disease, and Danon's disease. We also review an HCM-mimic, athlete's heart. What are 10 ways that athlete's heart can be distinguished from HCM on imaging? Which cardiomyopathies will have thinning (echogenecity) of the basal inferolateral wall instead of thinning of the basal septum? What genetic property accounts for why male patients with Danon disease are more severely affected than female patients and have younger onset? Tune in for answers to these questions.
