Harlow On Healthcare: Joel Diamond MD, CMO at 2bPrecise

In the finale of our series "Conversations about Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy", Dr Ankur Kalra welcomes, Dr Anjali Tiku Owens, for a dynamic and practical discussion.

Dr Owens is Medical Director of the Center for Inherited Cardiac Disease and Associate Professor of Medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.

This series is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Bristol Myers Squibb. Please see www.camzyosrems.com for important safety information.

In this week’s episode, Dr Kalra and Dr Owens take us on a journey through the complexities of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), with focus on the diagnostic challenges and breakthroughs in this field.
Emphasising with the critical importance of making accurate diagnoses, Dr Owens shares her insights into identifying the common mimickers of HCM through a structured approach starting with taking the patients history.
As the conversation delves deeper, Dr Owens discusses the various diagnostic tools and tests used to rule out other conditions and uncover the underlying aetiology. She navigates us through the algorithm for interpreting genetic test results, differentiating pathogenic variants, benign variants and variants of uncertain significance (VUS). Dr Owens talks about the wider implications for family members and the cases in which she recommends screening.
Dr Kalra asks Dr Owens about her approach to exercise in HCM patients. Additionally, they cover the debated topic of defibrillator therapy and the use of HCM Risk-SCD risk calculator.
Dr Owens provides an overview of the treatment paradigms for HCM, touching on haemodynamic classifications, symptomatology and the evaluation of sudden death risk.

What are the most common mimickers of HCM? What is Dr Owens and her heart team approach to decision making? What is the role of genetic testing in patients with HCM?

Genetic Testing in Pregnancy – Expert Care at Dr. Mazen IVF

In this moving episode of Comfort Conversations, host Erin Youngblood sits down with Kim Martin, a former college instructor living with early-stage Alzheimer's, and Pat Demerest, caregiver and founder of the Durango Dementia Coalition. Together, they offer a deeply personal look at life with dementia — from surprising diagnoses and emotional lows to resilience, support systems, and hopeful innovations.

Kim shares how a 23andMe test revealed her genetic predisposition, leading to her Alzheimer’s diagnosis and the challenges of accessing treatment in rural Durango. Pat opens up about her nine-year journey caring for her husband, and how guilt gave way to relief when he finally found joy in professional care. The two women offer honesty, advocacy, and encouragement for others navigating similar paths.

This conversation highlights the importance of early diagnosis, community resources like the Durango Dementia Coalition, and new Medicare initiatives like the GUIDE model that aim to make dementia care more compassionate and navigable.

Genetic testing in the UAE is becoming a vital part of fertility treatment, helping identify inherited conditions and chromosomal abnormalities. The cost of genetic testing can vary depending on the type of test, such as Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) or carrier screening. At clinics like Dr. Mazen’s in Dubai, these tests are often recommended to improve IVF success rates and ensure healthy pregnancies. While prices differ based on specific procedures and laboratory fees, patients are encouraged to consult directly with fertility specialists to understand the most suitable options and associated costs for their reproductive journey.

In this essential episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra is joined by Dr Carolyn Ho, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Medical Director of the Cardiovascular Genetics Program at Brigham and Women's Hospital, for a comprehensive discussion on how genetic testing is reshaping hypertrophic cardiomyopathy management.

The conversation explores the VANISH HCM trial results, which showed that valsartan can slow disease progression in young, asymptomatic individuals with early sarcomeric HCM. Dr Ho discusses how this evidence influenced the 2024 HCM guidelines and created new opportunities for disease-modifying therapy before clinical symptoms appear. The episode also examines emerging gene-based therapeutics, from current adeno-associated virus approaches to future CRISPR technologies that could address the underlying genetic causes of HCM.

Dr Ho addresses practical considerations for clinicians, including when to initiate genetic testing, how to manage family screening, and the promise of AI-assisted screening tools. The discussion highlights both current therapeutic options and the evolving landscape of precision medicine in inherited cardiovascular disease.
