Hypertrophic Cardiomyopthy
Genetics
Diagnoisis
Hypertrophy not explained by something else
Presence of genetic mutation related to HCM
Complications
Atrial Fibrillation
Heart Failure
Sudden Cardiac Death
Research Questions
Ouflow Tract stenosis
Myocardial Fibrosis
Myocyte disarray
Genetic mutations of sarcomere proteins
How does HCM kill?
Sources of data
ECG
MRI
ECHO
Genetic screening
Patient histories
How can we detect preclinical HCM in patients?
ML ECG screening (Ramnah 2015)
Phenotypes
Who is at risk of SCD?
ML genetic analysis missense variations (Jordan 2011)
ECG
ML echo assessment (Narula 2016)
Image
600 echo studies: found heterogeneous hypertrophy 28% had hypertrophy in one segment only 38% had three or more segments
(KLUES, 1995)
Clinical risk score (O Mahony 2015)
744 patients 12 % died over 8 years, 51% SCD 45 +- 20 y, 36% HF 56 +-19y, 13% stroke Afib 73 +- 14 y (maron 2000)
Are there any disease pathways whereby one phenotype leads to another (and possibly ends in SCD or HF)?
Who is at risk of heart failure?

ML ECG phenotypes related to risk score (Lyon 2018)
110 patients with mutations in myosin binding protein C gene, protein truncating variants were associated with earlier disease manifestation and more frequent medical intervention (Erdmann 2001)
