Overview

The natural history of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is quite variable. Signs and symptoms range from none, to atrial fibrillation, to heart failure, to embolic stroke, to sudden cardiac death[1][2][3][4][5]. Signs and symptoms are quite variable from individual to individual but are also quite variable within a given family (all of whom carry the same mutation). The disease is quite variable in the timing of its appearance and may appear anywhere from infancy to late in adult life. About 25% of HCM patients achieve normal longevity[6][7][8][9]. The myosin binding proteins C genetic variant carries a good prognosis. The presence of VT / VF carries the poorest prognosis. The severity of the outflow gradient is also related to prognosis. Athletes should be screened for HOCM based upon a family history of sudden cardiac death and a murmur on physical examination. Electrocardiograms and echocardiograms are not cost effective screening tools in this population with a low pre-test probability of disease.

Time and Age Dependent Appearance of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

Left ventricular hypertrophy may be absent in childhood. It may then appear following the rapid growth of adolescence and may first appear at age 17 to 18[10][11][12].

Sudden Cardiac Death

The incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with HCM is 2 to 4 percent per year in adults, and a 4 to 6 percent per year in children and adolescents[13].

Among end stage patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction < 50%, the risk of SCD over 5 years may be as high as 47%. In this population, syncope has been identified as an independent correlate of sudden cardiac death (hazard ratio = 6.15; 95% confidence interval, 2.40-15.75; P < .001)[14].

A review of 78 patients with HCM who died suddenly or survived a cardiac arrest episode showed that 71 percent were younger than 30 years of age, 54 percent were without functional limitation, and 61 percent were performing sedentary or minimal physical activity at the time of cardiac arrest.

Predictors of Sudden Cardiac Death

There are few predictors of SCD in patients with HCM.

Prognosis in Survivors of Sudden Cardiac Death

Survivors of SCD have a poor prognosis. Event free survival at 1,5 and 10 years was 83, 65 and 53 percent respectively.
