In-Hospital Outcomes of Acute Ischemic Stroke in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the in-hospital outcomes of acute ischemic stroke in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).

Patients and Methods

Using weighted discharge data from the National Inpatient Sample, we identified 5804 nonelective hospitalizations for ischemic stroke in adult patients with HCM between 2011 and 2017. For comparison, 58,179 hospitalizations for ischemic stroke in adult patients without HCM were selected as controls using the simple random sampling method.

Results

Compared with the patients without HCM, those with HCM had a higher prevalence of hyperlipidemia (62.4% vs 57.5%, respectively, P<.001) and chronic heart failure (25.4% vs 13.6%, respectively, P<.001) but a lower prevalence of diabetes (28.2% vs 34.9%, respectively, P<.001) a
