Prognosis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy observed in a large clinic population.
Overall annual cardiac mortality in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC) has been reported to be between 2 and 4%, although these numbers are primarily from retrospective studies of patients referred to large research institutions. A clinic population of 113 patients with HC was prospectively studied to assess cardiac mortality in the overall group and in selected subgroups commonly thought to be a...

متن کاملHypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy: the Mayo Clinic experience.
BACKGROUND Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a primary myocardial disease characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy in the absence of other etiologies. Clinical presentation may vary from asymptomatic to sudden cardiac death. Medical treatment is the first-line therapy for symptomatic patients. Extended left ventricular septal myectomy is the procedure of choice if medical treatment is u...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Prevalence, Clinical Correlations, and Mortality in a Large High‐Risk Population
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common sequela of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), but evidence on its prevalence, risk factors, and effect on mortality is sparse. We sought to evaluate the prevalence of AF, identify clinical and echocardiographic correlates, and assess its effect on mortality in a large high-risk HCM population. METHODS AND RESULTS We identified HCM patients who u...
متن کاملArrhythmia in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. I: Influence on prognosis.
In order to examine the association between arrhythmia and subsequent prognosis, 72-hour ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring was performed in 86 unselected patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. During monitoring 23 patients experienced at least one episode of supraventricular tachycardia and 24 had ventricular tachycardia (of whom 10 had more than three episodes). The patients were ...
