🔬New in @JACCJournals: HCM diagnosis criteria show unexpected demographic bias. Study of 50,000+ hearts reveals current thresholds create 8:1 male-female ratio Proposing demographic-adjusted thresholds to improve diagnosis🫀 https://t.co/GoRmh9eGmC @UCL_ICS @NHSBartsHealth

Back from @cirsesociety 2025 in Barcelona. So good to reconnect with friends, meet amazing new people, and take in the city. Big shout-out to the @ETF_IRtrainees for stellar work and to @TraineesBSIR and @IRadResearch for showing up strong. Can’t wait for next year!

Fixed diagnostic criteria are failing women. A 2025 study shows a 15mm LVH threshold for HCM has a significant sex skew (89% male). Adjusting for age, sex & body size boosts accuracy, and nearly doubles female representation in diagnosis. https://t.co/9ZtRbEsVSI #CardioTwitter

👏😊Wonderful delivery by @CTopriceanu at #BCS2025 of his results from MyoFit46 🌟 Life-course BP ➡️ #WhyCMR perfusion in older age 🌟 'Best of the Best' @BritishCardioSo Imaging Zone 🌟 https://t.co/YeyYWJ4mFo Thank you Cristian & @TheBHF !!!

@HunainShiwani @ACCinTouch A mighty @JACCJournals prize for the incredible @UCL PhD fellow who transformed how we think of HCM max wall thickness for clinical care! @HunainShiwani 🙏🙏🫀🫀🏆🏆

♥️ Age, sex, and body size influence the normal heart MWT. ( A significant proportion of patients received diagnoses of HCM despite having MWT below the traditional LVH threshold (<15 mm): 27% of female individuals and 18% of male individuals.) 🔗 https://t.co/vbcFZZDuPD

Well that was a whirlwind! An unexpected (but incredible) weekend in Chicago for the 2025 @ACCinTouch conference — honored to receive the William W. Parmley Prize. Grateful for the recognition and loved catching up with friends and colleagues.

Well, that was fun. It was great debating @jeffreygeske on the wall thickness diagnosis in HCM. I think this meme (and the compelling data!) helped convince the crowd to move the line! #ACC2025 @HunainShiwani @JccmoonMoon

Incredibly honoured to have won the William Parmley Award at the @JACCJournals for my work on https://t.co/20IJEmTEb9 for demographic adjusted thresholds for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy diagnosis. Couldn’t have done it without all my fantastic collaborators!

Truly excited to start my residency @MayoClinic!

Age, sex, & body size influence the normal heart MWT. Using a fixed LVH threshold ≥15mm biases LVH ascertainment in both population & #HCM cohorts. A demographic-adjusted approach for LVH improves ascertainment & Dx accuracy. https://t.co/s7oP2bWlrt #JACC #cvHCM @HunainShiwani

Thank you for sharing our paper! I’m excited to share a tool we created to help apply these findings in practice: 🔍 https://t.co/hM4llnup8J. It calculates demographic-adjusted LVH MWT thresholds & Z-scores based on age, sex, & BSA.

🚀 Excited to share a new tool based on our @JACCJournals study! https://t.co/C7pY4Jpekh 🔍 https://t.co/hM4llnuWYh provides left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) MWT threshold values and Z-scores based on age, sex, & BSA.

For anyone in my network who is keen to apply this tool to their cohort of patients and seeing whether adjusted LVH thresholds and/or Z-scores may influence diagnosis or prognosis - please get in touch!

Is the 15mm HCM threshold outdated? 🤔 New research challenges the one-size-fits-all approach. This study found that women with HCM are often underdiagnosed. Dr. Shiwani spoke about the information revealed in this work. Read more at https://t.co/Wsnv9GLLrR #Cardio#HeartMonth
