MiocardiopatÃa hipertrófica
Nombres alternativos:
Estenosis subaórtica hipertrófica idiopática; Hipertrofia septal asimétrica; CardiomiopatÃa hipertrófica (CMH); HCM; IHSS; ASH; HOCM; MiocardiopatÃa obstructiva hipertrófica
Prevención:
Si a una persona se le diagnostica miocardiopatÃa hipertrófica, el médico puede recomendarle que los parientes de sangre cercanos (miembros de la familia) se sometan a una evaluación para detectar esta afección.
Algunas personas con formas leves de la miocardiopatÃa hipertrófica sólo son diagnosticadas por medio de ecocardiografÃas debido a sus antecedentes familiares conocidos.
En caso de padecer hipertensión, se aconseja asegurarse de tomar los medicamentos y seguir las recomendaciones del médico.
