Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) in the majority of cases causes restriction of blood flow in the outflow tract of the heart caused by systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve. Dr. Steve Nissen talks with cardiologist Dr. Milind Desai and surgeon Dr. Nick Smedira, Directors of the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Center about current treatment options, such as medications and surgical therapy, what we have learned from years of experience with HCM at Cleveland Clinic, and a new innovative medication that is being researched that may reduce the need for - or delay surgery.
