Abstract

Recent data indicate that women with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) are older and more symptomatic at presentation and have worse clinical outcomes than men. However, to our knowledge, there are no large studies of the association of patient sex with outcomes after surgical myectomy. To analyze preoperative characteristics and overall survival of women and men undergoing septal myectomy for obstructive HCM. This retrospective, single-center study included the clinical data of adult patients who underwent septal myectomy from January 1961 through April 2016. Data analysis occurred from December 2017 to December 2018. Septal myectomy. Survival. A total of 2506 adults were included; 1379 patients (55.0%) were men. At the time of surgery, women were older, with median (IQR) age of 59.5 (46.6-68.2) years vs 52.9 (42.9-62.7) years in men (P < .001). Women were more likely to have New York Heart Association class III or IV status at presentation (women, 1023 [90.8%]; men, 1169 [84.8%]; P < .001) and more severe obstructive physiology, as reflected in higher resting left ventricular outflow tract gradients (women, 67.0 [36.0-97.0] mm Hg; men, 50.0 [23.0-81.0] mm Hg; P < .001). Women also had a greater likelihood of having moderate o...Continue Reading
