LIVE-HCM: Individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy exercising vigorously or competitively do not have a heightened risk of death or arrhythmic events compared to those exercising moderately or those who were sedentary. ja.ma/42Li1Go

Today we presented the full results of #REDWOOD #HCM #Cohort4 #HFA2023 European Society of Cardiology , this is a p2 trial of #aficamten in #nHCM Here are the results, and based on them our patients will get to consider participation in a phase III trial later this year -stay tuned #CardioTwitter

Lifetime Clinical Course of HCM over 50 years: - HCM mortality 2x in 2nd-3rd decade from diagnosis - Driven by HF (1.4%/y), SCD is low (0.4%/y) - Contemporary treatment strategies may decrease mortality by 40% JACC Journals iacopo olivotto Martin Maron, MD jacc.org/doi/epdf/10.10…

I’d just like to apologise to everyone for my abject failure This was spotted in a local radiology registrar report today Again, sorry. I promise to do better as a trainer. I will redouble my efforts. This Never Event won’t happen again

my PhD study now out in Circulation! Detection of micro-structural/vascular abnormalities in subclinical & overt HCM using DTI/quantitative perfusion #WhyCMR 🧲🔬 Thank you to my supervisors Erica Dall'Armellina @jccmoonmoon @LuisRLopesDr doi.org/10.1161/CIRCUL…

#DidYouKnow we have an entire Microlesson Series on HCM, comprised of 13 videos (and counting) that dive into all things #HCM? View them all on our YouTube channel: bit.ly/3OCOsCv

A dobutamine stress echo remains a widely used method for detection of CAD in patients with ESLD despite low sensitivity. Speckle-tracking assessment of strain may enhance the sensitivity of DSE, but the value of strain analysis in ESLD is unknown. bit.ly/45dOnug

(1/10) Today the long-awaited full results from the Phase 3 ATTRibute-CM trial were presented European Society of Cardiology #ESCCongress. We already knew the topline results from last month: Acoramidis made a (big) difference in outcomes! What more did we learn?🤔Let's dig deeper...

Improved Diagnostic Criteria for Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy JACC Journals - using new indexed thresholds. So glad to contribute to redefining hypertrophic cardiomyopathy for more accurate diagnoses. congrats to RebeccaHughes for another amazing paper on apical HCM

Having a child is one of the most profound things you will do in your life. I had my first child later in life ~ 40. Here are 5 things that having a child has taught me.

#Amyloidosis #CardioTwitter A rare, but fascinating and relevant finding, that ATTR-CM–ass. HF can resolve spontaneously, with reversion to near-normal🫀structure and function! There might be a possibility of antiamyloid immune response: polyclonal IgG AB to human ATTR ➡️bound
