@UHC I waited on hold for two hours to try and appeal a denial for a much needed acute rehab stay for my mother as your company decided to just hang up on me. What an incredible disgrace.
Such a great and educational weekend with @sukritibanthiya ! Huge thanks to @HCMSummit for putting it together and @CardioNerds for the opportunity ! ���
2/ ❤️ Tx for HCM + HFrEF is rooted in expert opinion, in contrast to HFrEF due to lack of robust data
🔑 GDMT in HFrEF + HCM, no reason to disqualify pts w/ HCM but may poorly tolerated
🔑 ICD associated w/ better survival
🔑 CRT may help w/ 📊 40% ⬆️ NYHA class
1/ ❤️ EF < 50% in HCM is an indication of significantly impaired systolic function, as these pts are hyperdynamic
… with the caveat, don’t be falsely reassured by a normal EF if severe Sx present w/ a suspected 🫀 etiology!
