Patient's question:
My old classmate is from Hong Kong. Today, he went back to visit his family and said that he now has apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. I don't know how long people with this disease can live. I want to know, how long can people with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy live?Doctor's answer:
If hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is not treated in time, it can be life-threatening and interfere with a person's expected lifespan, as recurrent episodes can cause sudden shortness of breath and lead to shock. However, there are now many treatments for this disease, such as surgical interventions and medication control. If you actively cooperate with the treatment, you can also enjoy a lifespan similar to that of a normal person. You should exercise moderately, pay attention to your diet and get deep sleep, rest well, and drink plenty of water.
