A novel demographic-adjusted personalised approach to measure wall thickness is an important step towards a more accurate / less biased diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Very glad to be part of this important study led by Hunain Shiwani (congratulations!) & James moon

📊 Rethinking HCM Diagnosis: New study highlights the need for demographic-based LVH thresholds to improve accuracy & reduce bias in detection 💡🫀 Hunain Shiwani Cristian Topriceanu, MD Gabriella Captur James moon BSCMR president SaulMyerson



🚀 Excited to share a new tool based on our JACC Journals study! doi.org/10.1016/j.jacc… 🔍 hcmcalculator.com provides left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) MWT threshold values and Z-scores based on age, sex, & BSA.


Age, sex, & body size influence the normal heart MWT. Using a fixed LVH threshold ≥15mm biases LVH ascertainment in both population & #HCM cohorts. A demographic-adjusted approach for LVH improves ascertainment & Dx accuracy. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #JACC #cvHCM Hunain Shiwani



#JACC has honored 5️⃣ primary authors with the William W. Parmley Young Author Achievement Award, recognizing their exceptional research papers published in the journal. 📎: acc.org/About-ACC/Pres… #ACC25 #TheFaceOfCardiology Chi-Hang Ronald Lee Safia Chatur, MD Cristian Topriceanu, MD


Incredibly honoured to have won the William Parmley Award at the JACC Journals for my work on HCMCalculator.com for demographic adjusted thresholds for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy diagnosis. Couldn’t have done it without all my fantastic collaborators!

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



Well that was a whirlwind! An unexpected (but incredible) weekend in Chicago for the 2025 American College of Cardiology conference — honored to receive the William W. Parmley Prize. Grateful for the recognition and loved catching up with friends and colleagues.
