Best Cases: Non-Ischemic Heart Disease-Discussion

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The discussion focused on complex cardiomyopathy cases and the expanding role of genetic testing, especially in young patients with significant left ventricular hypertrophy. Speakers agreed that broader referral to specialized centers could improve diagnosis, though access and cost remain barriers. Questions also covered Fabry disease imaging, the limitations of missing T1/T2 mapping, possible low-flow mechanisms behind subendocardial scar, and emerging but preliminary genotype-phenotype links in arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse. The session concluded with rare hemorrhage findings in amyloidosis and appreciation for the interesting case presentations at SCMR 2021.
