Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is one of the important causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in younger people and athletes. It is important to identify the risk factors for SCD in individuals with HCM. This article, based on recent systematic literature studies, will focus on the risk factors for progression in patients with HCM. The article discusses the established risk factors, such as a family history, unexplained syncope, and some new risk factors. The findings of this article demonstrate that there is a need for further research on individual risk factors and risk stratification in HCM patients remains a clinical challenge.
