Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Registry, Biobank and Imaging Data Repository
Hearts in Rhythm Organization Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Registry, Biobank and Imaging Data Repository (HiRO-HCM)

Brief summary (registry, in English)
The Hearts in Rhythm Organization (HiRO) is a national network of Canadian researchers/clinicians, working towards a better understanding of the rare genetic causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD). The HiRO Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy registry, biobank and imaging data repository (HiRO-HCM) is a multicenter study that will prospectively enroll patients with HCM as well as those carrying sarcomeric gene variants predisposing to HCM. The objectives of HiRO-HCM are: 1. to better understand the natural history of the disease and identify clinical markers and biomarkers for adverse outcomes; 2. to derive and validate risk prediction models for disease expression, complications and response to therapy; 3. to better define the genetic architecture of sarcomeric and non-sarcomeric HCM.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Other illness
- Clinical or molecular diagnosis of Noonan syndrome or other Rasopathies
- Clinical or molecular diagnosis of metabolic disease associated with cardiomyopathy, such as Pompe (GAA), Fabry (GLA), Danon (LAMP2), AMP-kinase (PRKAG2), and carnitine disorders
- Clinical diagnosis of a neuromuscular disease associated with cardiomyopathy, such as Friedrich's ataxia
- Clinical diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis with or without the presence of genetic variants in TTR
- History of myocardial infarction
- History of moderate or severe aortic stenosis
- History of congenital heart defects requiring percutaneous or surgical correction
- History of severe hypertension defined as a systolic blood pressure \>180 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \>110 mmHg AND absence of pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant in a sarcomeric gene (as defined in inclusion criterion 1B above)
- No possibility to upload transthoracic echocardiogram or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for core lab interpretation
Age
- Diagnosis of HCM \>65 years old AND absence of pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant in a sarcomeric gene (as defined in inclusion criterion 1B above)
Other
- Clinical or molecular diagnosis of mitochondrial cardiomyopathy
- Refusal to provide informed consent or to provide a biospecimen for DNA analysis
Who the study is looking for
- Patients with (1) AND/OR (2)
- Clinical diagnosis of HCM, defined as
- maximal LVWT ≥15mm, or
- maximal LVWT ≥13mm, in presence of a diagnosis of first degree relative with HCM, or
- septal wall thickness with z-score \>2 in a child
- AND/OR
- Carrier of a pathogenic or likely pathogenic genetic variant in a sarcomeric gene (ACTC1, FHOD3, MYBPC3, MYH7, MYL2, MYL3, TNNI3, TNNT2, TPM1). Variant classification should be performed by a certified diagnostic laboratory according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidelines.
