Abstrakt: Introduction: Although much research has been done on adult hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, data on pediatric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is still limited.
Methods and Results: The study enrolled all patients with cardiomyopathy who presented to us between 1990 to 2020 and were younger than 18 yrs. During the thirty-year study period, we identified 233 cases of pediatric cardiomyopathy. Sixty-three cases (27%) had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Out of the 63 HCM cases, 12% presented in the neonatal period and 37% presented in the first year of life. The median age of presentation was 7 yrs (Range 0.1-18 yrs). Sixteen patients had proven syndromic, metabolic, or genetic disease (25%). LV outflow obstruction was present in 30 patients (47%). Noonan syndrome was present in 9 of the 63 patients (14%). Dyspnea on exertion was the most common mode of presentation. Cardiac MRI was done in 28 patients, out of which 17 had late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). Mid myocardial enhancement was the most common pattern. Four patients had LGE of more than 15%. Over a mean follow-up period of 5.6 years (0.1-30 years), twenty-one were lost to follow-up (33%). Among the patients whose outcome was known, eleven died (26%), and thirty-one (73%) were alive. The 5-year survival rate of HCM patients was 82%, and the 10-year survival rate was 78%. Seven died of sudden cardiac death, three from heart failure, and one from ventricular arrhythmias. Sustained ventricular arrhythmias were seen in three patients and atrial arrhythmias in two. First-degree AV block was seen in 10 patients (15%) and bundle branch blocks (BBB) in five (8%). Eight patients required ICD or transplant (12.7%). Two patients underwent ICD for primary prevention, and one underwent PPI for distal AV conduction disease. Among the various clinical, echocardiographic, and radiological risk factors studied, only consanguinity showed a trend towards higher events of death or ventricular arrhythmias (P-value 0.08).
Conclusion: More than one-third of our HCM cohort presented in infancy. LV outflow tract obstruction is common (47%). Mid myocardial enhancement was the most common pattern of late gadolinium enhancement. SCD was the most common cause of death. The outcome in our HCM cohort is good and similar to other population cohorts. Only Consanguinity showed a trend towards higher events of death or ventricular arrhythmias.
