Article Synopsis
- Myocardial ischemia is a common issue for patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM), but there is a lack of research on their outcomes and revascularization strategies after a STEMI (heart attack).
- From 2004-2018, of over 3 million hospitalizations for STEMI, only 2,583 patients (0.8%) also had HCM, who tended to be older and female with fewer traditional heart disease risk factors.
- HCM patients were less likely to receive revascularization, but their in-hospital mortality rates were similar to those without HCM, indicating that HCM complicates treatment without increasing mortality risk.
