Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)
肥厚型心肌病（HCM）
The heart is a beating muscle, it continuously pumps blood to the lungs and organs of the body in that the heart has four chambers, two upper chambers, or atria, and two lower chambers, or ventricles. Ventricular septum is the muscle which seperate the two ventricles.
心脏是一块跳动的肌肉，它不断地将血液泵送到肺和身体的器官，因为心脏有 4 个腔室，两个上腔室（心房）和两个下腔室（心室）。室间隔是分隔两个心室的肌肉。
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic heart disease where there is increased thickness of the left ventricle, predominantly affecting the ventricular septum.
肥厚型心肌病（HCM）是左心室增厚，主要影响室间隔的一种遗传性心脏病。
There are two types of HCM—non-obstructive and obstructive.
HCM 分为两类：非梗阻性 HCM 和梗阻性 HCM。
Obstructive HCM occurs when the mitral valve makes an abnormal motion and contacts the thickened septum obstructing the flow of blood from the left ventricle out of the heart, as well as causing leakiness or regurgitation of blood back into the left atrium.
梗阻性 HCM 是二尖瓣异常运动并接触增厚的室间隔，阻碍血流从左心室流出，导致流回左心房的血液渗漏或反流。
This obstruction to blood flow and mitral regurgitation creates high pressures in the heart and is the main cause of limiting symptoms in patients with obstructive HCM.
血流受阻，以及二尖瓣反流将造成心脏内高压，是梗阻性 HCM 患者出现限制性症状的主要原因。
Symptoms may include: shortness of breath with exertion, chest pain, dizziness, or exertional fatigue.
症状可能包括：呼吸急促伴劳力性呼吸、胸部疼痛、眩晕或劳力性疲劳。
Although there is no cure for HCM, there are several effective treatment options available to improve symptoms.
虽然 HCM 没有治愈方法，但是我们有许多行之有效的改善症状的治疗方案。
