The purpose of the HCM Registry is to find ways of predicting the risk of developing complications associated with HCM, so that the most appropriate advice and treatment can be given to patients.
This study will carry out a careful and thorough assessment of people with HCM using new sophisticated tests to identify markers that are associated with these complications.
The information we gather from this research will help doctors in the future identify people with HCM who are at higher risks of developing complications as a result of the disease and give the most appropriate treatment.
