Broderick Cardiomyopathy Program

The Broderick Cardiomyopathy Program advances care for genetic cardiomyopathy in Southern Alberta @ucalgary @libininstitute

A heart transplant ends one chapter and opens another for the family. New in Transplantation Reviews from @Okiamanesh, @robertjhmiller and the @BroderickHeart at the @LibinInstitute: about 1 in 3 transplant recipients carries a pathogenic cardiomyopathy variant. Thread below.

Kim Dueck, RN, has joined the Broderick team as Research Nurse. She comes from five years in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, with a BSc in Biology and a Bachelor of Nursing.

Looking forward to having her alongside our families.

New from the @BroderickHeart team I work with: a plain-language guide for patients & families weighing genetic testing for cardiomyopathy. Why it helps, what it means for relatives, your legal protections in Canada. Share if it's part of your patients' story 👇 https://t.co/YOo0BlGDVa

Same gene, same family, two very different hearts. New in JACC: Case Reports from @Okiamanesh and the Broderick team on why a sibling's cardiac risk cannot be read from a brother or sister. Thread below.

Genetic cardiomyopathy tweetorial:

Two siblings. The same gene. The same homozygous variant.

One developed a dilated, scarred heart. The other's heart stayed nearly normal.

Identical genotype does not mean identical heart. 🧵

A patient with Duchenne MD: society values his health state at 42/100. He rates it 65/100.

Whose number should guide his ICD decision?

We surveyed 156 cardiac NMD patients to see what self-perceived health actually tracks. 🧵

A Gift from the Heart.

Our community thanks the Broderick family for their leadership and philanthropy.

Genetic cardiomyopathies present uniquely. FLNC cardiomyopathy may present with recurrent myocarditis in childhood.

A genetic diagnosis has important diagnostic, prognostic, therapeutic, and reproductive implications.
