The webinar is the second in a series of webinars supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Bristol Myers Squibb. This webinar will address echocardiographic guidance for septal reduction in HCM, risk stratification for sudden cardiac death in HCM, and include a case-based presentation on challenging HCM cases and clinical conundrums.

Moderator: Matthew Martinez, MD

Speakers: Renuka Jain, MD, FASE; Dermot Phelan, MD, PhD, FASE and Karan Kapoor, MD

Webinar Learning Objectives and Content:

1) To describe and understand echo guidance of invasive HCM procedures: Alcohol Septal Ablation and Myectomy

2) To risk stratify patients with HCM for sudden cardiac death, such as when CMR is indicated and how it could be used to aid in decision making for ICD placement
