Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (oHCM) – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), once known as idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis, is a condition commonly encountered. It stands as a significant contributor to sudden cardiac death among young individuals, including athletes, affecting both genders equally across diverse racial backgrounds. The familial form of HOCM follows an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern, making it the most prevalent genetically inherited cardiomyopathy. Additionally, it can manifest in individuals without a familial history due to de novo mutations. HOCM arises from gene mutations responsible for encoding sarcomere proteins, including B-myosin heavy chain, troponin, actin, and titin. These mutations induce structural irregularities in myofibrils and myocytes, potentially resulting in abnormal force generation and conduction issues. Consequently, in the absence of alternative causes, this leads to the characteristic phenotype of asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. Classific...
