February 25 is HCM Awareness Day and we’re highlighting early detection of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, an underdiagnosed genetic heart condition affecting 1 in 500 people of all ages.

On this special day, we salute the groundbreaking work of Dr. Eugene Braunwald, whose seminal studies at the NIH in the 1960s defined the diagnosis of HCM as a clinical entity and served as the foundation for advancements in echocardiographic diagnosis, genetic testing, and risk stratification for sudden cardiac death.

Learn more about Dr. Braunwald and contribute to the Eugene Braunwald, MD Endowed Lecture. This speakership enables HCMS to host pioneering researchers and pre-eminent thought leaders at our annual scientific sessions.

February 25 is HCM Awareness Day and we’re highlighting early detection of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.

Some people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy don’t have symptoms, while others may only feel symptoms with exercise or exertion. And, some people may not show signs in the early stages of the disease but may develop them over time.

The Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Medical Society (HCMS) brings together a community of physicians, scientists and medical providers dedicated to improving the diagnosis and treatment of people with HCM through clinical excellence, research and education.

Visit us at https://hcmsociety.org/ to learn more about our podcasts, annual scientific session and to join a professional association of like-minded professionals who share their knowledge and passion for improving outcomes for patients with HCM.

HCMS has just released the third season of our podcast series: “In the Thick of It.” Episode 32 features “Bionic Tech and Shared Decisions: Exploring the Spectrum of ICD Care in HCM.”

In this episode, Dr. John Fritzlen joins leading electrophysiologist Dr. Mark Link along with Hannah Keime and Bethany Keime from “Heart Charged” to discuss the critical role of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) in managing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

You can find the video versions of the episodes at https://hcmsociety.org/podcast.

Season 3 of “In the Thick of It” podcast is online with Episodes 25-32. The season is sponsored by Bristol Myers Squibb.

This week, we’ll highlight Episode 29: “ The ‘Neglected Middle’: Redefining HCM Genetics with Intermediate Effect Variants”

In this episode genetic counselor Matthew Thomas sits down with Dr. Roddy Walsh and Dr. Juan Pablo Ochoa to discuss their groundbreaking research on the genetic architecture of HCM. The conversation centers on "Intermediate Effect Variants" (IEVs)—genetic markers that fall between rare, high-impact Mendelian mutations and common, low-impact polygenic risk factors.
