Hypertrophic septum affects patients in two ways: it manifests as symptomatic left ventricular outflow (LVOT) obstruction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) or prevents the option for transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) due to the perceived risk of developing LVOT obstruction. Surgical myectomy has long been the treatment of choice for achieving septal reduction. However, outcomes vary based on the operator and institutional experience and can be morbid in high surgical risk patients. 1

For most clinicians, the drive to accumulate accomplishments and succeed professionally is deeply inculcated after decades of medical education and postgraduate training. We tend to build mental milestones and focus on the steps needed to achieve them, while sometimes making personal sacrifices in the process. The motivation to succeed is important and can result in a productive career that often means scientific progress and improving the lives of our patients. However, it is also imperative that we

Elevated blood pressure (BP) is a major modifiable risk factor for stroke and cardiovascular disease. Yet progress on controlling hypertension and reducing death and disability from stroke and cardiovascular disease has stalled. Hypertension affects nearly half of all adults in the U.S., based on the ACC/AHA guideline definition of a systolic BP > 130 mm Hg on two separate occasions or taking antihypertensive drugs. Only about one in four adults have BP that is well controlled and many more remain

Ischemic cardiovascular disease (IHD) continues to be a significant public health problem in the U.S. Typically, ischemia is associated with epicardial coronary artery obstruction caused by atherosclerotic plaque. 1 Angina pectoris, the most common symptom of IHD, affects approximately 112 million people globally. 2 However, in up to two-thirds of patients undergoing coronary angiography because of angina and evidence of myocardial ischemia, there is no proof of obstructive coronary artery diseases
