Description

Go online to PeerView.com/UBM860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited cardiac disease, with a mortality rate estimated to be about three times greater than that experienced by individuals of similar age without HCM. So far, the FDA has approved only one noninvasive treatment option indicated for the treatment of HCM—a first-in-class cardiac myosin inhibitor (CMI) called mavacamten. A second CMI, aficamten, is currently being studied. As timely diagnosis of patients with HCM may reduce or delay the need for invasive treatment, these treatment options are essential for cardiologists to understand. This PeerView activity covers what you need to know about diagnosing and managing HCM for optimal patient care. A patient case threads through each section and offers a window into real-world diagnostic and treatment challenges as our expert shares guidance and the latest evidence. By the end of this activity, you will be able to explain the underlying pathophysiology of HCM, apply your new knowledge for timely diagnosis and individualized treatment of HCM, and implement strategies for long-term patient safety and improved outcomes. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Apply current guidance and the latest evidence to support accurate differential diagnosis and encourage early treatment in patients suspected of having HCM; Evaluate the efficacy and safety evidence supporting the ability of modern targeted strategies to address the underlying pathophysiology of HCM; Individualize treatment of HCM based on patients' personal preferences and goals of care and identify opportunities to reduce inequities; and Implement strategies that encourage and support regular assessment of clinical status, LVEF, and LVOT gradient in patients with HCM, consulting with specialty colleagues as needed.
