Experts released a new clinical guideline for effectively managing individuals diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy . The guideline reiterates the importance of collaborative decision-making with patients who have HCM and provides updated recommendations for the most effective treatment pathways for adult and pediatric patients.
"Incorporating the most recent data, this new guideline equips clinicians with the latest recommendations for the treatment of HCM," said Steve R. Ommen, MD, FACC, medical director of the Mayo Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Clinic and chair of the guideline writing committee."We're seeing more evidence that patients with HCM can return to their normal daily lives with proper care and management.
"These new drugs offer an alternative for patients who have failed first-line therapy and either want to delay or possibly avoid more aggressive options," Ommen said."With this guideline, we're providing clinicians with point-of-care guidance about effectively using this first-in-class, evidence-based treatment option and improving their patients' quality of life."
Poorly managed HCM may lead to many complications including SCD. The new guideline includes recommendations for assessing and managing the risk of SCD by establishing clear risk markers.
