The hypertrophy is mostly asymmetric and predominantly affects the basal septum and anterior wall. Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, at rest or after provocative tests, is detected in many patients and represents the primary cause of reduced functional capacity, as well as an independent predictor of sudden cardiac death and advanced heart failure. Until about 1 year ago, symptomatic patients despite maximal therapy with beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers, with or without disopyramide, had only basal septal reduction therapy via myectomy or alcohol septal ablation as additional therapeutic options. Today, a new class of drugs that inhibit cardiac myosin activity is available for patients with obstructive HCM.In light of the new treatment perspectives, the correct clinical-therapeutic classification of affected patients becomes of fundamental importance for the cardiologist.

Today, CTCA is used both in the diagnosis of low-risk chest pain in emergency departments and in the recognition and prognostic assessment of stable coronary artery disease. By identifying the presence, extent, and quality of atherosclerotic disease, CTCA today offers an important tool for the identification of the disease, promoting the best therapeutic choices with significant prognostic implications, a high safety profile and potentially significant savings in resources. New applications and evidence are accumulating thanks to the marriage of CTCA with artificial intelligence.
