Abstract
We sought to assess the long-term outcomes in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, in whom the decision regarding surgery (vs conservative management) was based on assessment of symptoms or exercise capacity. This was an observational study of 1530 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (aged 50 ± 13 years, 63% were men) with severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (excluding those aged <18 years, with left ventricular ejection fraction <50%, and with left ventricular outflow tract gradient <30 mm Hg). A composite end point of death (excluding noncardiac causes) and/or implantable defibrillator discharge was assessed. Coronary artery disease, family history of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and syncope were present in 15%, 17%, and 18% of patients, respectively, whereas 73% patients were in New York Heart Association class II or greater. Mean left ventricular ejection fraction, basal septal thickness, and left ventricular outflow tract gradient (resting or provocable) were 62% ± 5%, 2.2 ± 1 cm, and 101 ± 39 mm Hg, respectively. A total of 858 patients (56%) underwent exercise echocardiography, of whom 503 (59%) had exercise capacity impairment. At 8.1 ± 6 ye...Continue Reading
