WEB: Phenocopies of HCM and echo in patients taking meds
Phenocopies of HCM and echocardiography in patients taking medication. Presented by Ada Lo and moderated by A/Prof Sandhir Prasad. This is the final of 3 webinars in the HCM series.


Distinguishing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) from its photocopies—such as cardiac amyloidosis, hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), and Fabry disease—is critical for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. Echocardiographic features help differentiate these conditions; for example, cardiac amyloidosis often presents with a speckled myocardial texture, biatrial enlargement, and impaired longitudinal strain with apical sparing. Hypertensive LVH typically shows more concentric thickening with preserved myocardial strain, while Fabry disease may exhibit concentric LV thickening with posterior wall involvement and reduced basal strain. Advanced imaging techniques like strain echocardiography and contrast-enhanced modalities can further aid in distinguishing HCM from its mimics.

For patients with confirmed HCM who are on medication, echocardiography plays a vital role in monitoring treatment effects and disease progression. Beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers, commonly prescribed to manage symptoms and reduce outflow obstruction, may impact systolic and diastolic function, requiring serial echocardiographic assessments. Doppler studies help evaluate changes in LVOT gradients and diastolic function in response to therapy. Additionally, echocardiography can detect potential side effects of medications, such as worsening diastolic dysfunction or drug-induced bradycardia, ensuring optimal treatment adjustments.
 
Join presenter Ada Lo and moderator A/Prof Sandhir Prasad for the final webinar in the 3-part series about HCM.

Learning outcomes:
- Able to develop an echo protocol (for the echo lab) to assess the response to medication in patients with obstructive HCM 
- Understand what to do in patients with unexplained increases in LV wall thickness
