Causes of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is caused by genetic mutations, genetic diseases, hypertension can induce the disease.

1, the basic cause

1, gene mutations

encoding a sarcomere gene of cardiac contractors mutation, so that cardiomyocytes proliferation, causing asymmetric hypertrophy of the myocardium, can lead to the incidence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

2, genetic diseases

themselves exist glycogen storage disease, carnitine deficiency, malformation syndrome and other genetic diseases, the body has more mutated genes, may cause abnormal growth of myocardial muscle, resulting in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

2, induced factors

suffering from hypertension will lead to increased load on the heart, causing myocardial contraction to strengthen, so that the volume of myocardial cells increased, so the incidence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy will increase.
