Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I agree with you onthe fact that heat can increase the heart rate and the risk for arrhythmias.
But, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing some tests to investigate for other possible causes of cardiac arrhythmia:
- resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound
- an ambulatory 24 hours ECG monitoring to examine your heart rhythm trends for a prolonged period of time
- complete blood count for anemia
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance
- thyroid hormone levels for possible dysfunction.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues!
Kind regards,
Dr.Iliri
