This study investigates the characteristics and prognosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The results show that HFpEF patients have greater disease severity and higher mortality than non-HF patients, indicating the need for more aggressive treatment in HF management.
Background Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is the dominant form of heart failure (HF). We here aimed to investigate the characteristics and prognosis of HFpEF in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Methods This was a prospective cohort study and patients with HCM with available NT-proBNP results were enrolled. Patients were categorized into HFpEF [defined as LVEF >= 50%, with symptoms or signs of HF, and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide >= 800 pg/mL according to American Heart Association (AHA) criteria] and without heart failure (non-HF). The outcomes of interest were all-cause death, cardiovascular death, and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Results Of 1178 included patients with HCM, 513 (43.5%) were identified as having HFpEF according to AHA criteria. Compared with non-HF patients, patients with HFpEF had significantly larger maximal wall thickness (P < 0.001), higher maximal left ventricular outflow tract gradient (P < 0.001), higher proportion of atrial fibrillation (P < 0.001), higher incidence of all-cause death (log-rank test, P = 0.002), and cardiovascular death (log-rank test, P = 0.005). Multivariable Cox analysis showed that patients with HFpEF had a nearly two-fold higher risk of all-cause death (adjusted HR = 1.80, 95% CI 1.11-2.90; P = 0.017) and cardiovascular death (adjusted HR =1.82, 95% CI 1.05-3.18; P = 0.033) than non-HF patients. Conclusions Patients with HCM have a high prevalence of HFpEF and those with HFpEF present greater disease severity and higher mortality than non-HF patients, and thus may require an appropriate and more aggressive treatment for HF management. Identification of patients with HFpEF using AHA criteria can provide guidance on patient risk stratification for patients with HCM.
