Mechanical circulatory support has emerged as a vital therapeutic modality for patients awaiting heart transplantation (HT). However, it is unknown how it affected the characteristics and post-HT outcomes of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). This retrospective cohort study analyzed adult HT recipients from the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation registry (1998-2017).

However, whether that affected medium-term post-HT outcomes in this group of patients remains unknown. We conducted an analysis of the United Network for Organ Sharing Transplant Database, including adults with HCM who underwent heart transplantation between 2015 and 2021.

This study aimed to examine the effect of multiple metabolic factors and cardiovascular disorders on the risk of cognitive decline and AD/ADRD.
Methods: We analyzed a cohort of 6,440 participants aged 45-84 years at baseline.
Background: Heart transplantation (HT) is the only option for most patients with end-stage heart failure and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) who fail medical therapy. Data on the long-term outcomes post-transplant in HCM individuals remain scarce.
Methods: We analyzed data of 319 adult patients who underwent HT between 1984 and 2019.
