Prognostic implications of different clinical profiles in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
2021
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a myocardial genetic disease relatively common in the general population with heterogenous clinical presentation, natural history and prognosis. About 60% of HCM patients have a stable clinical course, while others may experience a variety of HCMrelated complications which follows relatively independent pathways, and that can be distinguished in different subgroups. These subgroups are represented by patients with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction; patients with end-stage disease and reduced or preserved systolic function; patients with apical hypertrophy; patients with apical aneurysm; patients with atrial fibrillation, patients at high risk of sudden death and patients with pre-clinical HCM. The purpose of this review is to describe each of these clinical profiles with its prognostic implications.
