Health Care Resource Use and Economic Burden in Patients With Symptomatic Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and Atrial Fibrillation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common among patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM), although the impact of AF on health care resource use and costs is not well defined.

Methods

We performed a retrospective analysis of claims data from 2016 to 2021 and used International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes to identify adult patients with symptomatic oHCM and classify their status with respect to AF as follows: (1) prevalent AF, (2) incident AF, and (3) no AF. Health care resource use and costs for each cohort were analyzed and expressed as per person per year (PPPY).

Results

Of 22 216 patients with symptomatic oHCM, 6677 had prevalent AF (30.1%), 2879 had incident AF (13.0%), and 12 660 were without AF (
