A new book designed to educate children and their families about hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was authored by Srihari Naidu, MD, and HCM patient Lindsay Davis.

HCM is widely underdiagnosed, but the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association hope their new guidelines can help cardiologists learn more about the potentially fatal condition and improve patient care. 

Purvi Parwani, MD, discussed the trend toward multimodality imaging for heart failure management. All modalities have their own weaknesses, she explained. 

"You have to look at each patient and understand their goals," one HCM expert said in a new interview. 

Nicholas Smedira, MD, a cardiovascular surgeon with Cleveland Clinic, discusses septal myectomy and the need to improve overall HCM care with new standards and evidence-based guidelines.

One expert believes the lack of standardization for how diagnostic imaging in conducted and reported has led to a major underdiagnosis of HCM.

Matthew Martinez, MD, detailed the many ways HCM care management is changing during an exclusive interview at ASE 2023.

American Society of Echocardiography President Stephen Little, MD, says several trends and technologies are coming together at once, leading to renewed interest in echo.
