A 34-year-old male, non-hypertensive, non-diabetic, had a sudden onset of cardiac arrest, he was revived and then referred to a cardiologist at an advanced center for further care. His 2D echo revealed hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, all the other investigations were normal. His father was also found to have a similar condition however the father was asymptomatic.
