Care offered at our HCM Program


Genetic Testing

Genetic testing and counseling services are available in conjunction with the Medical Genetics program.

Echo

We perform regular echo and stress echos promptly, and keep track of when you need your next scan.

Cardiac MRI

We routinely perform MRIs in almost all HCM patients, helping to provide crutial information on disease prognosis.

Holter Monitor

Monitoring for arrhythmias is important in all HCM patients, this is done every ~1 year.

Surgery

If needed, we can help you decide on the utility of surgical management of HCM.

ASA

We offer minimally invasive methods of treating HCM, such as alcohol septal ablation (ASA).

Advanced Therapies

If you develop progressive heart failure, our team can help guide you on the best treatment approach.

Electrophysiology

Arrhythmias are common in HCM. Our electrophysiology team can help treat these, as well as placement of a defibrillator (ICD) if needed.

Pediatric Evaluation

Are you a parent with HCM? If so, your children require screening for HCM. Our collaboration with the pediatric cardiology division can help screen and treat all children.
