Abstract Background Heart failure (HF) is a common complication within the clinical spectrum of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). HCM-related HF is recognized to be multifactorial, including outflow obstruction, diastolic dysfunction, or progression to end-stage; however, prognostic predictors of HF events are not fully understood. We sought to investigate predictors for various HF outcomes in HCM. Methods We studied 289 consecutive HCM patients with EF≥50%. Patients with outflow obstruction (peak pressure gradient ≥30mmHg) were defined as obstructive HCM. HF events assessed in this study were 1) HF admission and 2) progression to end-stage (EF<50%). Results The mean age was 63±16 years, 53% male, EF 61±5%, NYHA class 1.8±0.7, and 39% obstructive. During a median follow up of 5.2 [3.7–7.0] years, 48 HF admission and 19 progression to end-stage were observed. Only 8/48 (17%) patients with HF admission had progressed to end-stage; while 11/19 (58%) patients with progression to end-stage remained free from HF admission. Univariate Cox regression hazard analysis showed different prognostic predictors between HF admission and progression to end-stage (Table). Multivariate Cox regression hazard analysis showed atrial fibrillation was an independent predictor of HF admission (adjusted HR 2.711 [1.094–7.389], P=0.031); while LV end-systolic dimension was an independent predictor of progression to end-stage (adjusted HR 1.114 [1.018–1.229], P=0.025).
