Valve Disease and HCM: Predicting and Preventing Complications

  • Summary

  • How do hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and aortic valve disease intersect, and what makes managing these patients so challenging? In this episode of In the Thick of It, Dr. Srihari Naidu and Dr. Megan Coylewright explore the complexities of aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with HCM. What challenges arise when HCM patients undergo aortic valve replacement, and how can these risks be mitigated? They discuss the risks of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, strategies to optimize patient outcomes, and the importance of distinguishing HCM from other conditions like amyloidosis. Tune in to learn about the role of advanced imaging, careful patient selection, and multidisciplinary heart teams in managing these overlapping conditions effectively.

    Season 2 of In the Thick of It is brought to you by the HCM Society, is supported by sponsorship from Cytokinetics, and is produced by Earfluence.
