Program Description

• Symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) is a chronic, progressive condition affecting 1:200 to 1:500 individuals in the US^1,2
• Despite available standard-of-care therapies, patients may experience impaired functional capacity and disease progression, driving the need for therapies that target the underlying oHCM pathophysiology rather than symptoms alone^2-4
• This webinar will be led by Rachel Lavelle, PharmD, who brings complementary clinical and managed care perspectives on oHCM, combining deep experience in cardiology care, guideline-directed therapy implementation, and value-focused cardiovascular outcomes

Learning Objectives

• Understand oHCM pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management
• Introduction of a new treatment for patients with oHCM
