The gross post mortem findings indicated a '''severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy''' which was confirmed on histology.
The fibrosis seen is a common sequale to this type of disease. The hypertrophy in the ventricular wall limits blood supply to the inner third of myocardium. Reduced perfusion stimulates replacement of degenerate myocytes with fibrous tissue, extending into the endocardium.
