Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, also known as an unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy, can lead to the sudden cardiac death. Some of the symptoms observed in patients suffering from this disease are chest pain, shortness of breath, orthostasis, palpitation, syncope, and presyncope. This disease can be diagnosed by imaging techniques, such as echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging. However, some laboratory tests, subject to histopathological findings are also being used for the diagnosis of this disease. The treatment options include invasive septal reduction therapy, pacemaker, and pharmacological therapies. MyoKardia Inc. is in the process of developing MYK-461 as a myosin inhibitor for the treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Other than this universities like the University of East Anglia are also involved in the development of drugs for the treatment of this disease.
