WEB Risk factors of sudden cardiac death in HCMpatients
Risk factors of sudden cardiac death in patients with HCM-evaluation by echocardiography.  Presented by Ada Lo and moderated by A/Prof Sandhir Prasad. Part 2 of 3 webinars in the series.


Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a complex cardiac disorder that carries a risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD), particularly in certain high-risk individuals. Echocardiographic evaluation plays a crucial role in identifying risk factors for SCD, with guidelines from both American and European cardiology societies emphasising key markers such as extreme left ventricular hypertrophy, left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction, and abnormal systolic function. Differentiating between obstructive and non-obstructive HCM is essential, as obstructive forms—characterised by dynamic LVOT obstruction—often require more aggressive management, including medications, surgical interventions, or septal ablation.

LVOT obstruction occurs when the thickened heart muscle, often in combination with systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve, restricts blood flow out of the left ventricle. It is defined by a resting or provocable LVOT gradient of ≥30 mmHg, with severe obstruction exceeding 50 mmHg. Echocardiography, including Doppler assessment, is the gold standard for measuring this gradient. Additionally, diastolic dysfunction is a key aspect of HCM, as the stiffened heart muscle impairs relaxation and filling. Stress echocardiography is often used to unmask latent LVOT obstruction and assess functional capacity, further aiding in risk stratification and treatment planning.
 
Join presenter Ada Lo and moderator A/Prof Sandhir Prasad for the secone informative webinar in this 3-part series on Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Learning Outcomes:
- Learn now to measure the LVOT gradient correctly
- Gain better understanding of the meaning of the different parameters used in diastolic function assessment in HCM
