In this activity, based on a recent live satellite symposium held at HFSA 2021, expert faculty review the evidence for current and emerging treatment strategies for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) using patient cases to illustrate the ways in which clinicians can adapt current practices and utilize shared decision-making to offer appropriate treatment options to patients with HCM. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Recognize HCM’s pathophysiology and the associated disease burdens that may be experienced by patients (eg, health impact, quality of life, daily activities), Apply the latest recommendations and guidance for diagnosing, evaluating, and monitoring patients with HCM in a team-based manner, Evaluate current and emerging strategies for managing HCM in terms of efficacy, safety, and effects on burden of disease, Collaborate with patients to identify their individual goals and counsel them about the benefits and risks of testing and treatment.
