One of the most common causes of Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) in young people and athletes is Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM). Finding the SCD risk factors in people with HCM is essential. The risk factors for SCD in patients with HCM will be the main topic of this review, which is based on recent systematic literature investigations. New risk markers have appeared as a result of more studies exploring the factors that may increase the risk of SCD in individuals with HCM. Additionally, more precise approaches for categorization and estimate of SCD risk have been suggested and are being developed. The discovery of independent risk factors for SCD caused by HCM would probably aid in risk categorization. SCD occurs annually in about 1% of adult patients with HCM, therefore it is challenging to forecast with full confidence. A family history of SCD, unexplained syncope, and other new risk factors are discussed in the review along with the existing risk factors. The results of this analysis show that SCD risk classification in HCM patients is still a clinical problem and that more research is required on specific risk variables.
