Abstract

AIMS: End-stage hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), defined as a left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) < 50%, is associated with poor prognosis; however, predictors of progression remain unclear. We aimed to identify prognostic factors for progression to end-stage HCM. METHODS AND RESULTS: We analysed 925 patients with HCM between 2007 and 2023 who underwent ≥1 year of follow-up echocardiography. The primary outcome was progression to end-stage HCM, defined as an LVEF
