Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy - Cardiology Series

Explore a comprehensive 27-minute video lecture on Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM) as part of the Cardiology Series. Delve into the intricacies of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) and idiopathic subaortic stenosis. Examine the characteristics of a thick, asymmetrical interventricular septum (IVS) and understand how the left ventricle wall thickens while the left ventricular cavity shrinks. Learn about mitral valve regurgitation, low cardiac output symptoms, and the differences between concentric and eccentric hypertrophy. Investigate the causes of HOCM, including viruses, amyloidosis, mitochondrial diseases, and hereditary mutations. Study heart murmurs and the splitting of S2 heart sounds to enhance your understanding of this complex cardiac condition.
