  "abstract": "The 2023 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Guideline for the Management of Cardiomyopathies and the 2024 American Heart Association (AHA)/American College of Cardiology (ACC)/AMSSM/HRS/PACES/SCMR Guideline for the Management of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)1 2 now recommend routine genetic testing for all children fulfilling diagnostic criteria for HCM. Guideline recommendations on phenotype description and the use of cardiac MR imaging have resulted in a change in clinical practice, but whether the same applies to genetic testing in childhood HCM is unknown.3 To understand current resource availability and clinical genetic testing practice, we performed a survey of centres caring for children with HCM within the International Paediatric Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Consortium (IPHCC), a large geographically diverse consortium of expert paediatric cardiomyopathy providers.4",
