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

Is the 15mm HCM threshold outdated? 🤔 New research challenges the one-size-fits-all approach. This study found that women with HCM are often underdiagnosed. Dr. Shiwani spoke about the information revealed in this work. Read more at buff.ly/4grA9eL #Cardio#HeartMonth

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

Thank you for sharing our paper! I’m excited to share a tool we created to help apply these findings in practice: 🔍 hcmcalculator.com. It calculates demographic-adjusted LVH MWT thresholds & Z-scores based on age, sex, & BSA.

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

♥️ Age, sex, and body size influence the normal heart MWT. ( A significant proportion of patients received diagnoses of HCM despite having MWT below the traditional LVH threshold (<15 mm): 27% of female individuals and 18% of male individuals.) 🔗 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

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.
