It is really tragic that such things happen all over the world and young lives are nipped in the bud due to pathetic negligence from the Governments to sports. No one bothered when a similar incident happened at Bangalore recently. What a concern when it happened in Italy? Are we fooling around. IOA, IOC should take a call on such issues concerned with sports the world over and each country.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a disease of the myocardium (the muscle of the heart) in which a portion of the myocardium is hypertrophied (thickened) without any obvious cause. It is perhaps most well known as a leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young athletes. The occurrence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a significant cause of sudden unexpected cardiac death in any age group and as a cause of disabling cardiac symptoms. Younger people are likely to have a more severe form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
HCM is frequently asymptomatic until sudden cardiac death, and for this reason some suggest routinely screening certain populations for this disease.
