Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) occurs in 1 in 500 individuals. Treatment options for HCM differ from those administered in coronary disease, heart failure, and valvular disease patients that comprise the core of many cardiology practices. In this article, we offer a concise summary of the therapeutic use of disopyramide for reducing gradients and relieving symptoms in obstructive HCM. Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Inc.
