Early Detection of Hypertrophic
CardiomyopathyKatie Wilson, Heather Dixon Lindsey, Aneta Petri, Kaycee

BELLARMINE UNIVERSITY, LOUISVILLE, KY
Objectives
• Define causes of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
• Identify signs & symptoms• Discuss differential diagnosis
compared to typical athlete’s heart• Discuss physicals, deconditioning,
EKG, and advanced cardiac imaging
BELLARMINE UNIVERSITY, LOUISVILLE, KY
What is Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)?• Autosomal dominant (Chun et al.,
2010)• Most common genetic heart disease• 11 genetic mutations (Maron, 2009)• Males>Females (Corrado et al., 2005)• Left ventricular hypertrophy (Chun et
al., 2010)• 1/3 of sudden deaths in U.S. (Corrado
et al., 2005)

Signs and Symptoms
• Chest pain/discomfort• Syncope (Chun et al., 2010)• Irregular heartbeat/palpitations• Shortness of breath/dyspnea• Fatigue out of proportion to exertion• Positive family history (Corrada et al.,
2005)

Differential Diagnosis of HCM in Athletes:
ChallengesTypical Athletic Heart
• Adaptations to training (Neary et. al, 2011)
• LV remodelling <13 mm (Maron, 2009)
• L atrial enlargement• Bizarre ECG changes
Athletic Heart with HCM
• LV thickness >15 mm (Chun et al., 2010)
• Positive genetic testing/ family history (Maron, 2009)
• Abnormal LV filling• L atrial enlargement• Bizarre ECG changes

Our Investigation
P: Athletes with family history of HCM or experienced cardiac S/SI: Cardiac ImagingC: Traditional medical sports physicals O: Early detection of HCM
BELLARMINE UNIVERSITY, LOUISVILLE, KY
Traditional Sports Physicals in the U.S.
• Personal history• Family history• Physical examination
– Heart sounds and rhythm– Musculoskeletal features (Marfan
syndrome)– Blood pressure and femoral pulses
(Corrado et al., 2006)

12-lead EKG
• Mandatory part of European sports physicals (Corrado et al., 2005)
• 26-year Italian study on pre-screening athletes (Corrado et al., 2006)– 89% decrease in incidence of sudden
CV death over period of study
From: Corrado et al., 2005
BELLARMINE UNIVERSITY, LOUISVILLE, KY
Deconditioning Period
• Forced detraining 8-12 weeks (Printz, 2012)
• Non-invasive diagnostic method• Athletic heart: physiological changes
after• HCM heart: no physiological
changes after
BELLARMINE UNIVERSITY, LOUISVILLE, KY
Advanced Cardiac Imaging
• Exercise echocardiograph stress testing (Printz, 2012)
• Cardiac CT scan• Cardiac MRI (Neary et al.,2011)• Ballistocardiography• Doppler ultrasound (Maron, 2009)
BELLARMINE UNIVERSITY, LOUISVILLE, KY
Conclusions
• Adding 12-lead EKG to sports physicals can detect cardiac abnormalities
• Study: Saved 360 kids before age 21(Anderson et al., 2013)
• Cost limitations of implementing in U.S.
• Advanced cardiac imaging is still needed for diagnosis
