J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth. 2021 Sep;35(9):2811-2814. doi: 10.1053/j.jvca.2021.02.041. Epub 2021 Feb 20.

Abstract

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a common cause of sudden cardiac death, results from mutations in the cardiac sarcomere. Although there has been much scientific exploration regarding this disease, there is still much to be elucidated. This E-challenge highlights two cases of cardiomyopathy and underscores the need for future multidisciplinary collaboration as outlined by the One Health Initiative.

Keywords: One Health; One Health Initiative; cardiomyopathy; echocardiography; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
