Introduction To assess the long‐term outcome of catheter ablation in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), especially in patients with apical HCM (ApHCM). Methods and results From 9,249 AF ablation cases, 97 patients (28 with ApHCM and 69 with non‐ApHCM) were enrolled. Another 97 patients...
