ABSTRACT

The hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a autosomal dominant hereditary disease with one varied clinical, morphologic and genetic expressiveness. It is the most frequent cause of sudden death in adolescents and young adults. The case of a patient with family history of sudden death appears that goes to our service with dyspnea and sincerely annoyances. Echocardiogram was made to him where the existence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with left ventricular outflow velocity, using the criteria diagnoses of the American College of Cardiology. Key words: hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, sudden death.
