Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is estimated to affect as many as 15 to 20 million people worldwide. However, it remains frequently undetected, because its symptoms are often nonspecific or mistaken for more common conditions. In this discussion-based activity, leading experts on HCM get to the heart of the matter, diagnosis and treatment, as they review guideline recommendations on imaging for diagnosis and examine current and novel treatment options, including small-molecule myosin inhibitors, as a means to improve patient outcomes and quality of life. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Differentially diagnose patients suspected of having HCM consistent with current guidance using appropriate cardiac imaging techniques; Apply the latest recommendations and current guidance for diagnosing, evaluating, and managing patients with HCM in a collaborative care model; and Incorporate emerging therapies for managing patients with HCM based on their efficacy, safety, and ability to address the unmet needs of patients and the pathophysiology of HCM.
