Part 1 - Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Hidden in Plain Sight

Part 1 - The Moment Join Dr. Tania Small, head of Medical Affairs at Bristol Myers Squibb, for a special edition of DoctoRx Unscripted, focused on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)—one of the most common inherited cardiac diseases and one of the most frequently missed.  In Part 1, NFL tight end Tommy Sweeney shares his experience being diagnosed with HCM. He reflects on his personal journey— from diagnosis and treatment decision making to his return to the NFL with his condition appropriately treated and well managed.  His story underscores a sobering reality: HCM can remain undetected even in individuals who receive frequent medical screenings, like elite athletes.
