Genetic testing for familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in newborn infants. A positive screening test for an untreatable condition provides psychological relief from uncertainty.EBSCO_AspBmj British Medical Journal
Studies have shown that patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) may misinterpret the meaning of uninformative genetic testing results to mean that a genetic etiology and family members' risk is ruled out. We hypothesized that poor comprehension of the laboratory genetic test report may ...
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young adults, mainly ascribed to ventricular tachycardia (VT). Assuming that VT is the major cause of (pre-) syncope in HCM patients, its occurrence is essential for SCD risk stratification and primarily...
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is burdened with morbidity and mortality including tachyarrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. These complications are attributed in part to the formation of proarrhythmic scars in the myocardium. The presence of extensive LGE is a risk factor for adverse outcomes in ...
“One of the things that we worry about with cats is sort of a silent heart disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy,” said Lytle; it’s one of the diseases Optimal Selection tests for. “A bad day in veterinary practice is when you lose a patient unexpectedly.” It’ssomewhat commonin Maine...
Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing and Prognosis in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. Exercise testing is performed in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy to evaluate blood pressure response, a risk factor for sudden cardiac death. The...

Prognostic value of systemic blood pressure response during exercise in a community-based patient population with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. response is too low to justify modifications of clinical management or to allow identification of the high-risk patient based solely on an abnormal test ...

The DNA test looks for 39 different genetic markers and provides reports on mutation carrier status and predispositions to 17 different diseases, including polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), retinal degeneration, myotonia. Science makes our lives better every single day...
Circulation and also led by Wu, the researchers used the same genetic-editing tools and stem cell technology to determine that a variation of uncertain significance, which doctors worried could have been an indication of a dangerous heart condition known as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, was actually ...
