Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic disease in which the heart muscle is abnormally thick. This impairs the flow of blood into and out of the heart. Cardiologists at Lehigh Valley Heart and Vascular Institute’s Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Center can diagnose and treat HCM.
Low blood sugar, known as hypoglycemia, can develop quickly
if someone with diabetes uses too much insulin or other medications used to treat diabetes, exercises too much or hasn’t eaten enough food. Sometimes it develops without an obvious reason.
