[Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy].
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is an uncommon disease, important to recognize. Family screening is mandatory, with physical examination, EKG and echocardiography. Genetic diagnosis will modify our approach in a near future. The different treatments are described: drugs, surgery, pacing. The role of the general practitioner is complementary to the cardiologist's. His task is especially important in the first step of the diagnosis.
