The Portuguese Registry of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Overall results

Abstract: Contemporary HCM in Portugal is characterized by relatively advanced age at diagnosis, and a high proportion of invasive treatment of obstructive forms. Long-term mortality is low; heart failure is the most common cause of death followed by sudden cardiac death. However, the burden of morbidity remains considerable, emphasizing the need for disease-specific treatments that impact the natural history of the disease.

“…In addition, the incidence of HCM was still higher in males, with a male-to-female ratio of about 2:1. The male predominance in HCM has been previously reported [13][14][15][16]. Given the autosomal dominant inheritance, the male-to-female ratio should be 1:1.…”

“…In the last 20 years, many retrospective and/or observational cohort studies have found that normal life expectancy is expected in most patients with HCM, without the functional disability of disease-associated clinical events, nor the necessity for therapeutic interventions [2,7,20]. As supporting evidence, the average age of the first diagnosis has markedly increased more than 60 years old in recently published studies [13,[16][17][18]. Furthermore, a communitybased cohort study without selection bias caused by selected referral to the tertiary care centers showed that a quarter of HCM patients were more than 75 years old [7].…”

“…(only 6% for bradyarrhythmia) and 13%, respectively, over an average follow up of 3.3 years. 22 Our study found much higher CIED implantation rates during a shorter period following ASA; 14% and 11% received PPM or ICD during the index hospitalization, respectively, and another 1% underwent CIED implantation over the ensuing 30 days. These disparate findings resulted from a slightly higher than average PPM implantation rate, failure of most prior studies to report index hospitalization ICD implantation rates 4,13,14 and much higher observed ICD implantation rates than anticipated.…”

“…A recent analysis from the Euro‐ASA registry observed PPM and ICD placement in 13% and 5% of HCM patients, respectively, over 5 years of follow‐up after ASA 21 . Similarly, the Portuguese Registry of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy recently reported PPM and ICD rates of 9% (only 6% for bradyarrhythmia) and 13%, respectively, over an average follow up of 3.3 years 22 . Our study found much higher CIED implantation rates during a shorter period following ASA; 14% and 11% received PPM or ICD during the index hospitalization, respectively, and another 1% underwent CIED implantation over the ensuing 30 days.…”

“…This registry shows that there are important differences in HCM management between guidelines and clinical practice, which was also demonstrated in other registries. 43,44 This can be the result of different HCM clinical courses representing the heterogeneous spectrum of HCM. Finally, these data reinforce the importance of using clinical registries as an important source of information that should be used to inform practice but also to influence the writing of the guidelines.…”
