Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy without hemodynamic cause is a cardiac pathology in which the first findings and the follow-up of it are established by transtoracic echocardiography, this being a highly available and cost-effective diagnostic means; For this reason cardiac sonographers who are in primary contact with patients under the supervision of the echocardiographer should be clear about all aspects related to the assessment of this pathology to be able to perform the planning and acquisition of an echocardiographic assessment that the cardiologist echocardiographer will allow during the review of the images to issue an accurate diagnosis that helps in the decision-making process regarding the diagnosis of the patient, treatment, follow-up and use of other cardiac imaging techniques.
