| Popis: | Introduction and objectives: According to current international guidelines, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients should be managed in specialized units. However, there is lack of data on the impact of the creation of these units in the management of HCM patients. Our goal was to assess the impact of the creation of an Inherited Inherited Diseases Cardiac Unit (ICDU) in the current management of patients with HCM. Methods: We analyzed 114 consecutive patients (62.6±8 years old, 70.2% males) with HCM. Variables related to optimal management of HCM patients and their family study were recorded, as well as guidance on the risk of sudden death. We analyzed whether patients were assessed by the ICDU or at a general cardiology consultation (GCC). Results: 50 patients were assessed in the IDCU and 64 in the GCC. Familial screening was more frequent in patients assessed by the IDCU (45.3% vs. 4%; p |
