How to Talk to Your Family About Their Heart Health History
Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is the most common genetic heart disease, affecting about 1 in every 500 people, according to the American Heart Association (AHA). In people with HOCM, genetic variants cause the heart’s walls to thicken and stiffen, blocking blood from flowing freely from the left ventricle to the aorta. This, in turn, results in shortness of breath and chest pain (especially during physical activity), abnormal heart rhythms, lightheadedness, dizziness, and fainting, and can worsen over time.

How Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Progresses in Adults
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the most common form of genetic heart disease worldwide. Researchers have estimated that up to 1 in 200 people have the condition, which is characterized by an abnormal thickening of the walls of the heart. This thickening can make it difficult for the heart to pump blood.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can be a deadly disease, and there was a time when it was largely untreatable. But the last 20 years have witnessed a sea change in the condition’s management—a change that has led to an estimated 10-fold decrease in deaths.

CT-FFR shows how smoking affects heart volume-to-myocardial mass ratio
Both current and former smokers show lower coronary volume-to-myocardial mass ratio (V/M) on CT fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR), researchers have found.
In a study published March 14 in Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging, a team led by Kenneth Holmes, MD, of St Paul's Hospital and University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, reported that smoking was associated with lower coronary volume-to-myocardial mass ratio in individuals with coronary artery disease (CAD) -- results that further cement the link between smoking and heart disease.
"[We found that] current and former smoking were independently associated with ...

It's often silent but can be a deadly killer. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a genetic condition that occurs in 1 in 500 people. Dr. Said Alsidawi, a Mayo Clinic cardiologist, says the problem is that many people don't even know they have it because they have no symptoms. And in 20% of cases, the first presentation is sudden cardiac death.
