Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a genetic heart disease that can cause sudden cardiac death in young athletes and otherwise healthy adults, is difficult for doctors to predict and monitor.
A silent killer hiding in plain sight — and you may not know you're at risk. I talk with a CEO living with this genetic heart condition and what it means for you. Dr. John Phillips and I talk to one of the most respected minds in tech, Phil McKinney, former CTO of Hewlett Packard and now CEO of CableLabs, to talk about something far more personal than innovation: A genetic heart condition he didn't know he had. It's called apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy where the heart muscle thickens, particularly at the tip of the heart. That thickening can interfere with blood flow and increase the risk of dangerous heart rhythms. And here's what you need to know: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy affects about 1 in 500 people...many of whom don't even know they have it. For some, the first sign is a life-threatening event. Phil was fortunate. His condition was caught early. Not everyone gets that chance. We break down what this condition actually is, why it's often missed, and how something as simple as knowing your family history could change your outcome. If there's heart disease in your family, or unexplained symptoms like shortness of breath, chest discomfort, dizziness, or fainting, those are not things to brush off. This is about awareness. It's about asking better questions. And it's about catching something early enough to do something about it.
Drs. Maron and Rowin review how treatment for symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy has evolved from mainly using beta blockers and invasive procedures to now including newer cardiac myosin inhibitor drugs. These newer medications more reliably reduce obstruction and improve patient symptoms and exercise capacity, but require careful safety monitoring with regular heart function checks.

Drs. Maron and Rowin provide an overview of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, explaining how it is diagnosed by heart imaging and classified into obstructive and non-obstructive forms. They highlight that obstruction is a major cause of symptoms and stress the importance of carefully assessing patients' day-to-day limitations to guide treatment decisions.

In this episode of JACC This Week, Dr. Carolyn Lam and Dr. Harlan Krumholz spotlight a mini-focus issue on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a field undergoing rapid transformation. The discussion centers on the MAPLE-HCM trial comparing aficamten and metoprolol in symptomatic obstructive HCM, highlighting multidomain response analysis and what it means to measure meaningful improvement. Beyond gradients and biomarkers, the conversation explores a critical question: when physiologic surrogates improve, how should we interpret patient-centered outcomes? Framed by the Editor's Page, "What Does Improvement Mean?", this episode examines the evolving role of myosin inhibitors, disease modification, and the tension between surrogate markers and real-world clinical benefit. Additional highlights include disaggregation of Asian ethnicities in heart failure quality-of-care research and emerging evidence on AI-driven ECG models to predict incident heart failure—underscoring JACC's commitment to precision, equity, and innovation. This issue reflects a broader shift across cardiology: transforming once-static diseases into treatable chronic conditions guided by rigorous evidence.

"There is a small chance of sudden death."That's a hell of a thing to hear from your cardiologist when you're a guy who runs ten miles a day and feels healthy as fuck. One minute I'm "knocking the cover off the ball" on my stress tests, and the next, I'm being told I have Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy—a condition where my heart is literally too strong for its own good. It's a diagnosis that could have sent me into a spiral of anxiety, especially after a recent trip to the ER during a family vacation, but it actually led me to the most important mental shift I've ever made.In this episode, I'm sharing the raw details of my heart journey and the specific reframe that changed everything: the moment I stopped asking "Why is this happening to me?" and started asking "Why is this happening for me?" I dive into how this diagnosis actually protected my sons, empowered my team to crush it while I was out of pocket, and forced me to trade frantic intensity for sustainable productivity. I'm also walking you through a powerful exercise to help you take your own current "low point"—whether it's in your health, your business, or your relationships—and rewrite the story in real-time. You don't have to wait ten years to be grateful for a challenge; you can choose to see the benefit of the obstacle today.//Welcome to The Ray J.

Often, the first symptom of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is sudden death. But sometimes, we get a warning— and that's where clinical judgment at the bedside saves lives.Today, Sarah goes over the case of her patient Ben, a 20-year-old experiencing syncope and chest pain. As his condition quickly deteriorated, the team had to carefully manage the patient before reaching a diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Hear what pointed them to this diagnosis, why some standard interventions can be dangerous in HCM cases, and the critical decisions made during his treatment.Listen now for a deep dive into the pathophysiology and treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy!Topics discussed in this episode:Case presentation of a young patient with chest painHow we got to the patient's diagnosis Pathophysiology of hypertrophic cardiomyopathyWhy the patient deteriorated and our treatment approachEmergency management of HCMOther types of cardiomyopathyKey takeaways for bedside nursesListen to episode 98, “Broken Heart Syndrome” aka Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy, here: https://healthpodcastnetwork.com/episodes/rapid-response-rn/98-broken-heart-syndrome-aka-takotsubo-cardiomyopathy/Mentioned in this episode:Listen to the In The Heart of Care Podcasthttps://link.cohostpodcasting.com/6598429e-e927-45b0-9b57-7dd34a09d803?d=seASyqjs7

Two risk scores—HCM Risk-Kids and PRIMaCY—have been developed to estimate 5-year risk, but their performance in an independent cohort showed limitations. Both tools tended to overestimate risk and showed imperfect ability to distinguish between low- and high-risk patients. However, their predictive accuracy significantly improved when risk assessments were repeated over time during follow-up. https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.1161/CIRCEP.124.012932 Host Disclosure(s): E.

Hosts Mitsuaki Sawano, MD, Shun Kohsaka, MD, and Nobuhiro Ikemura, MD, welcome Masashi Amano, MD, from the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center in Japan, to discuss his recent article titled "Validation of Guideline Recommendation on Sudden Cardiac Death Prevention in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy," published in JACC: Heart Failure.Drawing from the REVEAL-HCM registry of 3,611 patients across 21 Japanese centers, the study evaluated how well U.S. and European guidelines for ICD implantation apply to Japanese patients with HCM. The findings revealed poor outcomes in end-stage HCM (EF
In this second entry in the JACC-Baran Japanese language series, JACC Executive Associate Editor Mitsuaki Sawano, MD, Shun Kohsaka, MD, FACC, and Yuichi Shimada, MD, MPH, speak on topics ranging from all things Super Bowl to Dr. Shimada's recently published JACC paper, Comprehensive Proteomic Profiling of Human Myocardium Reveals Signaling Pathways Dysregulated in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Jeffrey B. Geske, M.D. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy affects 1 in 500 adults or about 600,000 individuals in the U.S. and represents the most common inherited cardiomyopathy. It often goes undetected, and it's estimated that about 85% of those with the condition remain undiagnosed. HCM can produce a variety of symptoms, the most serious being sudden death. The topic for this podcast is Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. What are the clues that might make us suspect a patient has HCM and how should we confirm the diagnosis? Are we able to prevent sudden death in patients with the condition and finally, what is the most effective treatment? I'll asking these questions of my guest, Jeffrey B. Geske, M.D., from the Department of Cardiovascular Diseases at Mayo Clinic.

CardioNerds (Dr. Dan Ambinder and guest host, Dr. Pooja Prasad) join Dr. Donny Mattia from Phoenix Children's pediatric cardiology fellowship, Dr. Sri Nayak from the Mayo Clinic – Arizona adult cardiology fellowship, and Dr. Harrison VanDolah from the University of Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix Med/Peds program for a sunrise hike of Piestewa Peak, followed by some coffee at Berdena's in Old Town Scottsdale (before the bachelorette parties arrive), then finally a stroll through the Phoenix Desert Botanical Gardens to discuss a thought-provoking case series full of clinical cardiology pearls. Expert commentary is provided by Dr. Tabitha Moe. Episode audio was edited by Dan Ambinder. They discuss the following case: Cardiology is consulted by the OB team for a 27-year-old female G1, now P1, who has just delivered a healthy baby boy at 34 weeks gestation after going into premature labor. She is experiencing shortness of breath and is found to have a significant past cardiac history, including atrial fibrillation and preexcitation, now with a pacemaker and intracardiac defibrillator. We review the differential diagnosis for peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) and then combine findings from her infant son, who is seen by our pediatric cardiology colleagues and is found to have severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Genetic testing for both ultimately reveals a LAMP2 mutation consistent with Danon Disease. The case discussion focuses on the differential diagnosis for PPCM, HCM, pearls on Danon Disease and other HCM “phenocopies,” and the importance of good history.

Case Media Pearls Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a diagnosis of exclusion – we must exclude other possible etiologies of heart failure! Be on the lookout for features of non-sarcomeric HCM – as Dr. Michelle Kittleson said in Episode 166, “LVH plus” states. HCM with preexcitation, heart block, strong family history, or extracardiac symptoms such as peripheral neuropathy, myopathy, or cognitive impairment should be evaluated for infiltrative/inherited cardiomyopathies! As an X-linked dominant disorder, Danon disease will present differently in males vs females, with males having much more severe and earlier onset disease with extracardiac features. Making the diagnosis for genetic disorders such as Danon disease is important for getting the rest of family members tested as well as the opportunity for specialized treatments such as gene therapy Up to 5% of Danon disease cases may be due to copy number variants, which may be missed in genetic testing that does not do targeted deletion/duplication analysis!). Notes What is the differential diagnosis for peripartum cardiomyopathy? Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a diagnosis of exclusion – we must exclude other possible etiologies of heart failure! First, ensure that you are not missing an acute life-threatening etiology of acute decompensated heart failure – pulmonary embolism, amniotic fluid embolism, ACS, and SCAD should all be ruled out. Second, a careful history can identify underlying heart disease or risk factors for the development of heart failure, such as substance use, high-risk behaviors that put one at risk for HIV infection, and family history that suggests an inheritable cardiomyopathy. Lastly, a careful review of echocardiographic imaging may also identify underlying etiologies that warrant a change in management. Diagnosis of peripartum cardiomyopathy is important to consider as within 7 days of onset, patients may be eligible for treatment with bromocriptine – consider referring ...
