For Johan, 66, shortness of breath and increased sweating were only minor inconveniences, which he quickly dismissed or attributed to external factors. It was only by chance that he discovered during a routine check-up that he had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). His journey illustrates how easily this often inherited heart disease can go unnoticed and emphasises the importance of early diagnosis.
At Bristol Myers Squibb, we are committed to raising awareness of HCM, encouraging early detection and advancing research to improve treatment options. Johan’s experience is a powerful reminder of why early diagnosis matters. By supporting patients like him, we constantly strive to improve healthcare and ensure every HCM patient receives the care they need and deserve.
Discover Johan’s story and join us in making a difference for everyone living with HCM.
