Summit Description
This summit will provide attendees with an opportunity to learn the clinical, morphologic and genetic spectrum of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) from a world-renowned faculty. The program will explore the diverse views on the natural history and assessment of risk for sudden death. This CME accredited summit is designed for cardiologists, internists, pediatricians and other health care professionals with an interest in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Target Audience
- Practicing cardiologists, internists, pediatricians and other health care professionals with an interest in HCM.
- Clinicians and basic researchers directly involved with cardiomyopathies.
Learning Objectives
- Identify the clinical, morphologic and genetic spectrum of HCM.
- Explore the diverse views on the natural history and assessment of risk for sudden death.
- Review contemporary management strategies for high-risk and other patient subgroups, including surgical septal myectomy, alcohol septal ablation, pacing, and prevention of sudden death with implantable defibrillators.
- Assess and determine appropriate management of heart failure and arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachyarrhythmia.
- Identify mechanisms responsible for adverse clinical events and natural history.
- Learn the role of new diagnostic modalities including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and advanced echocardiographic techniques.
- Understand the significance and occurrence of left ventricular outflow obstruction.
- Learn to detect and profile HCM in athletic populations and understand the pros and cons of different mass screening strategies for detecting HCM in general populations
- Be appraised of key developments in risk assessment for sudden death, based on detection of myocardial fibrosis with contrast MRI.

Attendee Dinner
On Friday evening, we invite faculty and attendees to gather for dinner at Windows
on Minnesota, located on the 50th floor of the IDS Center.
Network with expert faculty members and your fellow attendees while enjoying views
overlooking some of the 22 lakes within the city limits of Minneapolis, the new
Twins stadium at Target Field, and the “mighty Mississippi” River. Heralded by The
New York Times as “one of the finest skyscrapers built in any American City,” the IDS
Center is the tallest building in Minnesota and the centerpiece of the downtown
Minneapolis skyline.
The IDS Center is centrally located on Nicollet Mall, a thriving commercial district
with shops, shopping malls, restaurants, bars, arts, entertainment and sight-seeing
opportunities.

Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation & Allina Health
The Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation (MHIF) is working to create a world without heart disease. Through groundbreaking clinical research, professional education and health behavior change programs, we are improving individuals’ quality of life and reducing the mortality rate associated with cardiovascular disease.
As the research, education and philanthropic arm of the Minneapolis Heart Institute, MHIF is an independent, not-for-profit, community-based foundation. Among the top ten clinical cardiovascular research and education institutions in the country, we conduct more than 100 clinical research studies in the course of a year. Locally, we have reduced the 30-day heart attack mortality rate by more than 50% for individuals within a 210 mile radius of Minneapolis. Building upon this protocol, our therapeutic hypothermia trial is further advancing emergency cardiac care services and has improved survival rate by 28%.
Allina Health is a not-for-profit integrated delivery system of hospitals, clinics and other health care services. Nearly 24,000 employees, 5,000 physicians and 2,500 volunteers are dedicated to meeting the lifelong health care needs of communities throughout Minnesota and western Wisconsin.
Funding for this project is provided by the Center for Prevention at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, as part of the Blue Cross’ long-term commitment to tackle the four leading causes of heart disease and cancer: tobacco use, obesity, lack of physical activity and unhealthy eating.
