Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy care at Mayo Clinic
Your Mayo Clinic care team
A team at Mayo Clinic
A team works together to evaluate and treat people at Mayo Clinic.
At Mayo Clinic, a multidisciplinary team of cardiologists, heart surgeons, heart rhythm specialists, geneticists, nurses and other specialists trained in treating hypertrophic cardiomyopathy work together to provide coordinated, comprehensive care.
This means that you're not getting just one opinion — you benefit from the knowledge and experience of each specialist on the multidisciplinary team. This collaborative approach means healthcare professionals can often evaluate you and develop an individualized treatment plan within two or three days.
Advanced diagnosis and treatment
Mayo Clinic has a long-standing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy program that provides highly individualized care. Your treatment team may provide activity recommendations, medical management and treatments, such as septal myectomy, septal ablation and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) placement. Regardless of your age, general health and condition, you'll receive whole-person care tailored to your individual needs at Mayo Clinic.
Your care at Mayo Clinic may include:
- A comprehensive evaluation. Healthcare professionals will evaluate your heart condition as well as any other medical conditions that affect your treatment. Your team will consult specialists in other areas, as needed, to make sure you receive the most appropriate treatment plan for you.
- The latest diagnostic tools. Mayo Clinic maintains state-of-the-art laboratory and imaging facilities. The hypertrophic cardiomyopathy specialists at Mayo Clinic use advanced technology and sophisticated imaging equipment to diagnose hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Mayo Clinic specialists are experienced in using a variety of imaging tools, including cardiac MRI, cardiac catheterization and echocardiograms, specifically for people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
- Genetic testing and counseling. Experienced Mayo genetic counselors and medical geneticists provide genetic counseling and testing for people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and their families.
- Septal myectomy surgery. Mayo Clinic has decades of experience in performing septal myectomy surgery — a procedure in which a cardiac surgeon removes part of the thickened heart muscle to improve blood flow. Septal myectomy surgery has been performed at Mayo Clinic since 1959.
- Education and support. Nurses and other staff trained in the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Clinic work with your cardiologist to provide education and support.
