Morristown, NJ (PRWEB) May 21, 2014 -- On May 30-June 1, the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Association (HCMA) will hold its 16th annual meeting, “Navigating the HCM Heart” at Morristown Medical Center. According to HCMA, a national, nonprofit organization (4hcm.org), HCM is the most common of all genetic heart conditions, affecting 1 in 500 people – or as many as an estimated 600,000 people in the United States.

HCM can afflict people of either gender or any age or ethnic background. “HCM is an equal opportunity disease,” said Lisa Salberg, founder and CEO of HCMA.

HCMA is proud to offer this in-depth educational platform for patients, families and health care providers.”

According to Martin Maron, MD, Director of the Chanin T. Mast Center for HCM at Morristown Medical Center (MMC), it is “a genetic disease that causes abnormal thickening of the heart muscle, forcing the heart to work harder to pump blood or relax and fill with blood.” Dr. Maron added, “Many people with HCM can and do live long and productive lives, but it is also the leading cause of sudden cardiac arrest in children, teens and young adults.”

While much has been learned about HCM over the years, more research, education and support are needed. World-renowned experts in HCM – cardiologists, internists and registered nurses -- from institutions such as the Cleveland Clinic, Minneapolis Heart Institute, Tufts Medical Center, Mayo Clinic, University of Michigan Health System, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, will join Dr. Maron. They will present on various aspects of HCM in children and adults and discuss the most current clinical knowledge of the disease. The international faculty represents some of the greatest minds in HCM care.

“Our Morristown Medical Center partners recently opened a new center of excellence for patients seeking comprehensive HCM care. The Mast Center is the only one of its kind in the tri-state area and is dedicated exclusively to the diagnosis and treatment of HCM. “Morristown is the ideal location for our event,” said Ms. Salberg. “HCMA is proud to offer this in-depth educational platform for patients, families and health care providers.”
