Great to see our new paper out : Apical Ischemia Is a Universal Feature of Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI… James moon UCL Institute of Cardiovascular Science @BartsHospital fantastic work by RebeccaHughes showing ischemia is ubiquitous in “relative” and overt apical HCM

Apical ischemia occurs in every single apical HCM patient, regardless of disease severity. Read more here ⬇️ ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI… James moon Gabriella Captur Sam Mohiddin @LuisRLopesDr UCL Institute of Cardiovascular Science


🦧 apical HCM… brilliant Manish Motwani 👏🏻👏🏻

Thanks Dan Sado. It was a pleasure presenting this today with Jonathan Weir-McCall British Cardiovascular Society

Absolutely incredible work. Congratulations George Joy @LuisRLopesDr James moon

What a fantastic day screening with Heart Valve Voice at the Houses of Parliament today #ValveWeek23


Level 3 CMR positive! Endless thanks to my wonderful supervisors and all of those who’ve helped along the way James moon Gabriella Captur Dan Sado Charlotte Manisty Thomas Treibel Sam Mohiddin @LuisRLopesDr


A wall thickness of 15mm reflects far greater hypertrophy at the apex than the base. Apical HCM can be reliably diagnosed with an indexed wall thickness less than you’d expect.

This week I had my PhD viva and am relieved to have passed with minor corrections. 6 years in the making - an amazing feeling to have it (nearly) done! Thank you to my examiners Juan Pablo Kaski & peter swoboda and of course to my fantastic supervisors James moon & Gabriella Captur UCL Institute of Cardiovascular Science

Phenomenal presentation by George Thornton in the late breaking research session today #CMR2024 Thomas Treibel Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance


Amazing work and incredible delivery Hunain Shiwani #CMR2024

A more tailored approach to diagnosing apical HCM. More to come in this field - 👀 this space! Hunain Shiwani James moon

Very important work on apical hypertrophy definitions to be incorporated in further guidelines. 15 mm at the apex is far thicker than at the base, and lack of thickness tapering at apex might as well signify apical HCM. Bravo RebeccaHughes, James moon and team!


Well, that was fun. It was great debating Jeffrey Geske, MD on the wall thickness diagnosis in HCM. I think this meme (and the compelling data!) helped convince the crowd to move the line! #ACC2025 Hunain Shiwani James moon
