Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and AF

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a disease in which the heart muscle (myocardium) becomes abnormally thick (hypertrophied). The thickened heart muscle can make it harder for the heart to pump blood.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy often goes undiagnosed because many people with the disease have few, if any, symptoms and can lead normal lives with no significant problems. However, in a small number of people with HCM, the thickened heart muscle can cause shortness of breath, chest pain or problems in the heart's electrical system, resulting in life-threatening abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias).
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is usually caused by abnormal genes (gene mutations) that cause the heart muscle to grow abnormally thick.

It may be something else for some of you to look into. It mentions heart heart murmur which i was born with.
Never had any of the other issues that it mentions, other than AF.
When you watch the video, pause it and try to get a picture of it. I use the windows Snipping Tool.
P.S. The image was rite in front of me. Click on it and copy it.
