Conclusion:
To summarize, our study challenges the approach to diagnosing HCM by
demonstrating that certain symptoms do not always suggest a diagnosis of
HCM via echocardiography. This discovery has far-reaching consequences,
underscoring the importance of a multimodal strategy to screening for
HCM in high-risk people. This strategy should include genetic screening
and routine echocardiography. Early detection and treatments continue to
be critical in reducing disease progression, sudden cardiac death, and
related consequences. While our work provides some insight into this
issue, more research is needed to improve our understanding of HCM and
its diagnosis and to have ideal and more practical screening.
