Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy of the left ventricle is the most common genetically determined cardiac disease with a prevalence of 1 in 500.But right ventricular involvement is uncommon and isolated right ventricular hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is rare. A 19 year old male patient presented with complaints of breathlessness, palpitation and chest pain. He was found to have a holosystolic murmur in 3rd intercostals space along left sternal border.On echocardiography, predominant right ventricular outflow tract obstruction with right ventricular free wall and interventricular septal hypertrophy was observed without left ventricular involvement.
