Answer:
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (say "hy-per-TROH-fik kar-dee-oh-my-AWP-uh-thee") happens when the heart muscle grows too thick, so the heart gets bigger and its chambersClick here to see an illustration. get smaller. This may result in:
No symptoms or few symptoms. Many people have no symptoms and live a normal life with few problems.
The heart not getting enough blood and oxygen, which can cause chest pain.
A fast, slow, or uneven heartbeat (arrhythmiaClick here to see more information.). In rare cases, this can cause sudden death.
The heart not pumping blood well or not relaxing between beats as it normally does. In rare cases, this can lead to heart failureClick here to see more information..

heya mate!!
It affects 1 in 500 people of all ages, with symptoms appearing in children and adults. In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the muscle of the heart’s left ventricle is thicker than normal, or the wall between the two ventricles (septum) becomes enlarged and blocks the blood flow from the left ventricle.
Stiff and unable to relax properly between beats, the heart fills with less blood than it should, restricting the amount of blood pumped to the body. HCM is one type of cardiomyopathy, which is any disease that causes the heart to lose its ability to pump blood effectively.
