TL;DR: The objective of this study was to establish a baseline level of confidence that the once-in-a-lifetime implantation trial—Reduce Inappropriate Therapy protocol can be trusted to provide safe and effective treatment for cardiac arrhythmia and stroke-like episodes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This document, The European Society of Cardiology Working Group on Myocardial and Pericardial Diseases presents an update of the existing classification scheme, to help clinicians look beyond generic diagnostic labels in order to reach more specific diagnoses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction on clinical outcome in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Martin S. Maron,Iacopo Olivotto,Sandro Betocchi,Susan A. Casey,John R. Lesser,Maria A. Losi,Franco Cecchi,Barry J. Maron +7 more
TL;DR: In patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction at rest is a strong, independent predictor of progression to severe symptoms of heart failure and of death.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Is Predominantly a Disease of Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction
Martin S. Maron,Iacopo Olivotto,Andrey G. Zenovich,Mark S. Link,Natesa G. Pandian,Jeffery T. Kuvin,Stefano Nistri,Franco Cecchi,James E. Udelson,Barry J. Maron +9 more
TL;DR: Identification of LV outflow obstruction with exercise echocardiography may broaden management options in HCM by identifying symptomatic patients not otherwise regarded as potential candidates for septal reduction therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy-related death: revisited in a large non-referral-based patient population.
Barry J. Maron,Iacopo Olivotto,Paolo Spirito,Susan A. Casey,Pietro Bellone,Thomas E. Gohman,Kevin J. Graham,David A. Burton,Franco Cecchi +8 more
TL;DR: This revised clinical profile suggests that generally held epidemiological tenants for HCM have been influenced considerably by skewed reporting from highly selected populations and are likely to importantly affect risk stratification and treatment strategies importantly for the prevention of sudden death in HCM.
