This is also a common cause of sudden death in young people, early detection and treatment help reduce the risk of death and increase the effectiveness of treatment.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, characterized by dyspnea, syncope, chest pain, and palpitations, is the most common cause of sudden cardiac death in athletes or young adults under 35 years of age.
