Advancements in the Epidemiology, Diagnosis and Treatment of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Dear Colleagues,

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a heterogeneous clinical disorder with a variable morphologic expression and an increasingly recognized prevalence in the cardiovascular patient community. In the past decade, we have seen exponential growth in the available modalities for patient diagnosis and risk stratification, as well as in treatment options ranging from medical therapy to percutaneous and surgical interventions. The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight this progress from the perspective of international experts across multi-disciplinary modalities via review articles, brief editorials, case reports, or original research. We encourage all interested authors to submit their work and share their experiences of this growing and complex patient population.

Dr. Christos G. Mihos
