Previous names for this syndrome [hypertrophic cardiomyopathy] included asymmetric septal hypertrophy (ASH), hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), and idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis (IHSS) but have been largely replaced by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) because hypertrophy can be concentric and the majority of patients do not demonstrate obstruction to outflow.
