Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: EP Considerations-Using Risk Stratification Algorithms to Predict SCD in HCM (Presenter: Perry Elliott,)

Using Risk Stratification Algorithms to Predict SCD in HCM (Presenter: Perry Elliott,)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Maron discusses the evolution of risk assessment in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and the development of an online risk calculator called the HCM Risk-SCD. The risk calculator uses various clinical variables, such as family history, syncope, abnormal blood pressure response, non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT), and severe left ventricular hypertrophy, to estimate an individual's risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) over a 5-year period. The calculator was validated in a global cohort of HCM patients and showed good predictive performance for SCD risk. However, there are still some limitations and areas for improvement, such as the need to include pediatric patients and the challenge of incorporating scar burden and genetic status into the risk assessment. Dr. Maron emphasizes the importance of shared decision-making between physicians and patients in determining the appropriate interventions, such as implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), based on the estimated SCD risk.
