Abstract

The concept of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy has undergone profound changes with the advent of cardiogenomics and the increase in knowledge about the sarcomeric structure and the mutations that lead to cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. In this review article, we address the state of the art in terms of diagnosis, contemplating the genetic heart diseases responsible for differential diagnoses of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, known as phenocopies, which are a major challenge in clinical practice. We also discuss the current evidence that guides treatment.
