Supporting the training of Portuguese cardiologists in cardiomyopathies (and CMR) at @BartsHospital in London, many supported by Sociedade Portuguesa de Cardiologia, has been one of the most rewarding experiences of the last few years- listed in this slide presented in the meeting of the Portuguese WGMPD

New technique - CMR-ECGI can detect early electrical changes of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, even in the absence of macroscopic imaging abnormalities. Read more on this potentially game-changing technology for early disease detection: bit.ly/3IBPVVW #JACC #cvHCM #cvEP

Não perca a oportunidade de se inscrever numa das 2 sessões Hands-on em Miocardiopatia Hipertrófica, que integra o programa científico do Congresso Português de Cardiologia 2024, com o apoio da Bristol Myers Squibb Estas sessões vão assentar na discussão de casos clínicos e na resposta a

Surely it's time to expand HCM genetic testing beyond sarcomeric genes? JPH2 - 3% of cases in 🇫🇮 #5 gene (at least) FHOD3 - 6% of cases in 🇸🇮 🇧🇦 #3 gene CSRP3 / TRIM63 - 4.5% of cases in 🇪🇬 #5/6 genes ALPK3 - 1.5% of cases in 🇪🇺 but maybe ~5-6% in 🇮🇳/🇵🇰? etc.

Many congratulations to George Joy for his PhD. Very proud as a supervisor of his hard, excellent and groundbreaking work exploring the deep phenotype of subclinical HCM UCL Institute of Cardiovascular Science

Thank you Roberto Barriales-Villa and CHUAC for the invitation. An honor to do this lecture in a special place and center that has contributed and is contributing so much for cardiomyopathy science and clinical care throughout the years!

The prevalence of heart amyloidosis related to transthyretin gene variants is higher than expected, Carrier status ~1/1000 overall and ~4% in those with African ancestry. This is an important under-diagnosed and under-treated condition. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamac… from UK Biobank

More people in the UK are at risk of a hereditary form of cardiac amyloidosis, a potentially fatal heart condition, than previously thought, finds a new study led by Luis Lopes UCL Institute of Cardiovascular Science with Queen Mary University of London analysing the genes of nearly half a million people ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/aug/…
