Cardiovascular Hospitalizations Burden Following Septal Myectomy for Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Longer-term morbidity post septal myectomy (SM) in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy has not been well characterized at a national level. We aimed to investigate the nonfatal longer-term post-SM outcomes from a national all-payer individual-level claims.

Methods

The Symphony Health Claims database (2016-2021) was analyzed to identify all adult patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who underwent SM in the United States and had at least 1 claim within 120 days before SM. The primary outcome was cardiovascular hospitalizations (CVH) starting >30 days post-SM.

Results

A total of 5324 patient (median age 62.0 [52.0-70.0], 53.2% female, 70% commercial insurance) underwent SM and 95.8% were followed >30 days post SM. During 2.7 (1.2-4.2) year
