HOCM – Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a disease of sarcomeric proteins. – Genetic inheritance is autosomal dominant – Anatomical sub-types: ASH, concentric and apical – Sudden Death is 1% per year.
Athletes with SCD and HOCM
Facts About Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy : - Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of death in young athletes. - This is the most common inherited cardiovascular disease. - Over 200 mutations identified. - First degree relatives should be screened. - If echo is normal in an 18 years old first degree relative , then a follow up echo should be done every 5 years through adulthood.

What will you do? A) B) C) D) E)
Leave him alone. ICD if drug challenge test positive ICD if both drug challenge test and EPS were positive. ICD if genetic test positive. Start Quinidine if EPS positive.

Chest X-ray
A shock while watching TV
While waiting in ER: had another shock with no documented arrhythmia in the monitor
A shock while watching TV
Case 11: 35 yo male with chest pain
The best approach is: A) Treat as a STEMI and call the cath lab B) Initiate antibiotic C) Give thrombolytics D) Start a high dose asprin and follow clinically E) CTA lung to role out PE
Case 12 • A 23-year-old male with no known medical history suddenly collapsed while playing soccer. His friends immediately started CPR. The paramedics arrived within 5 minutes and found him in VF. He was defibrillated successfully with one shock. He was transported to the hospital for subsequent care. • The following ECG was obtained upon arrival to the hospital:
What is the most likely diagnosis?
A) Short QT syndrome B) Long QT syndrome C) Brugada syndrome D) Catecholaminergic polymorphic VT E) Acute MI
The patient made a complete neurologic recovery. An echocardiogram is within normal limits. What is the next appropriate step in management?
A)Start a beta blocker and restrict him from participation in competitive sports B)EP testing with administration of a class 1 antiarrhythmic (flecainide and procainamide) to determine risk of sudden death C) Exercise testing to assess if his QT shortens appropriately D) Implant an ICD E) Implant a dual-chamber pacemaker
Case 13
What is the next step in his evaluation? A) Exercise TMT B) He can not play any competitive sport C) No further evaluation is required D) Empiric treatment with a beta blocker E) None of the above
