This week we celebrate Children's Cardiomyopathy Awareness Month by reviewing a recent work from PACES on the impact of obesity on ventricular thickness in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Does obesity enhance thickness of HCM patients similarly to those without HCM? How does obesity affect risk for SCD in this condition? We review these and other questions with Dr. Seshadri Balaji, Professor of Pediatrics at OHSU. We speak also with Ms. Lisa Yue of the Children's Cardiomyopathy Foundation. What have been the foundation's greatest achievements? What are its present goals? Ms. Yue shares with us the inspiring story of how she and her husband started this important organization supporting pediatric cardiomyopathy research throughout the US. doi: 10.1007/s00246-019-02145-9
