Incidence and Healthcare Resource Utilization Among Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Hospitalized for Heart Failure in Japan.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Heart failure (HF) is one of the most common complications in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM); however, there are limited data on HCM burden in Japan. We evaluated the burden of HF hospitalization and factors that predispose patients with HCM to HF hospitalization.

Methods

This retrospective observational database study used a hospital-based claims database from January 01, 2011, to December 31, 2023, provided by Medical Data Vision Co., Ltd. The primary objective of the study was to calculate the incidence of first HF hospitalization after HCM diagnosis.
