Risk factors
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is usually passed down through families (inherited).
If you have a parent with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, you have a 50% chance of having the genetic mutation for the disease.
Parents, children or siblings of a person with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy should ask their doctors about screening for the disease.
