Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Conversations
Cardiovascular medicine is evolving rapidly and decision-making is becoming more complex. Sometimes, even the best scientific evidence cannot address the ambiguities in clinical presentation and responses to treatment. This is especially true in the clinical course of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or HCM. Healthcare providers’ limited knowledge of HCM and the associated risks of the disease makes shared decision-making crucial in provider-patient interactions.
Tune into these videos to learn more as the speakers share relatable anecdotes, personal insights, and straightforward instructions to explore shared-decision making in the treatment and management of HCM. The first video is a conversation between two nurse practitioners and the second is a video between two HCM patients.
