Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the second most common pediatric cardiomyopathy. Although there is a large body of literature about HCM in adults, there is limited information on HCM in childhood. We evaluated various aspects of pediatric HCM patients treated at our center. We identified 152 pediatric patients with HCM between October 2011 and October 2019. Clinical history, invasive (ICD, pacemaker, electrophysiologic study, catheter ablation therapy) and non-invasive (ECG, holter moniterization, echocardiography, cardiac MR, genetic study, medicam treatment) data were collected and evaluated. The mean ± standard deviation age of patients was 8.9 ± 5.7 years (1 month-18 years) and 67.8% were male. The most frequent clinical symptoms were murmur and palpitations. Three cases (2%) had aborted sudden death as the first manifestation of HCM. Of these patients, 120 (78.9%) had non-syndromic HCM and 32 (27.2%) had syndromic HCM. Asymmetric septal hypertrophy was common (48.3%) in the non-syndromic group, whereas concentric hypertrophy was common (56.2%) in syndromic group. Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) occurred in 39 (25.6%) patients. Nine (5.9%) patients underwent electrophysiologic study and/or ablation a...Continue Reading
