Welcome — Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) Clinic

Our clinic is a collaborative effort between the Division of Cardiology and the Department of Surgery.

Our clinic goal: Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common genetic cardiovascular disease. The major goals of the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Center are to offer patients and family education, guidance, and care for managing their HCM over their lifetime. The clinic and physicians help to assess patients to determine clinical course of action, prognosis and treatment options. There are a number of potential therapies available for the HCM patient. The Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Clinic can provide recommendations regarding the optimal therapy to relieve or reduce symptoms, including drugs, interventional options such as surgery, pacemaker implantation or alcohol septal ablation. We also provide guidance to other physicians in how to manage patients during non-cardiac surgery and pregnancy.
