Imaging in HCM
Guest: Jeffrey B. Geske, M.D. (@jeffreygeske)
Host: Kyle W. Klarich, M.D. (@KyleWKlarich)
ACA/AHA guidelines related to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy were modified in 2020. Although recommendations for the diagnosis of adult patients reflect minimal change, guidelines for the diagnosis of pediatric patients include new cutoffs. From an imaging perspective, the decision-making algorithm for sudden cardiac death risk stratification incorporates variables not present in prior guidelines.
Joining us today to discuss imaging in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is Jeffrey B. Geske, M.D., Cardiology, at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
Specific topics discussed:
- Benefits of echocardiography and cardiac MRI in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- Scar burden and guidelines for quantification
- Imaging guidelines for apical variant hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- Recommendations for frequency of cardiac MRI related to delayed gadolinium enhancement
- Role of serial imaging in the clinical management of patients
- Best methods to assess dynamic outflow tract obstruction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- Use of squat-to-stand and valsalva maneuvers
- Changes pertaining to imaging for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in the 2020 ACA/AHA guidelines
