Authors: Manhal Habib, Arnon Adler, Kimia Fardfini, Sara Hoss, Kate Hanneman, Ethan J. Rowin, Martin S. Maron, Barry J. Maron, Harry Rakowski, Raymond Chan

Short Description: Myocardial fibrosis, as quantified by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), provides valuable prognostic information in patients with HCM. This study examined fibrosis progression in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients, as well as its relationship to patient characteristics, clinical outcomes, and its effect on clinical decision making.

2020 | Genetic Testing for Diagnosis of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Mimics: Yield and Clinical Significance

Authors: Sara Hoss, Manhal Habib, Josh Silver, Melanie Care, Raymond H. Chan, Kate Hanneman, Chantal F. Morel, Robert M. Iwanochko, Michael H. Gollob, Harry Rakowski, Arnon Adler 

Short Description: Genetic testing is helpful for diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) mimics. Little data are available regarding the yield of such testing and its clinical impact. The HCM genetic database at our center was used for identification of patients who underwent HCM-directed genetic testing including at least 1 gene associated with an HCM mimic (GLA, TTR, PRKAG2, LAMP2, PTPN11, RAF1, and DES). Charts were retrospectively reviewed and genetic and clinical data extracted.
