Prognostic Implication of Right Ventricular Hypertrophy in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the prognostic significance of right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and to assess its incremental value when incorporated into the established 5-year sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk prediction model.

Materials and methods

This retrospective study included 320 patients with HCM who underwent CMR and echocardiography between 2007 and 2019. RVH was defined as a right ventricular wall thickness of ≥5 mm. The primary event was heart failure (HF) hospitalization. The secondary events were a composite of HF hospitalization, cardiovascular death, and heart transplantation. The prognostic role of RVH was assessed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, Cox proportional
