Brief summary

This is a retrospective cohort study of pediatric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients using chart and registry review methodology. The studies objective is to develop and validate a sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk calculator that is age-appropriate for children with HCM that includes clinical and genetic factors.

Recruitment details

This was a multicenter retrospective observational cohort study of pediatric patients with clinically diagnosed childhood-onset HCM. The primary cohort included patients from 11 sites participating in the PRIMaCY study (Precision Medicine for Cardiomyopathy), an international registry of patients with pediatric HCM launched in 2017. These included 4 Canadian, 6 US, and 1 Australian site. For model validation, we used data from the Sarcomeric Human Cardiomyopathy Registry.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Patients included were those with a clinical diagnosis of HCM defined as having LV posterior wall or septal thickness z score ≥2, age \<18 years at the time of diagnosis, absence of a SCD event before diagnosis, and at least 1 follow-up assessment after diagnosis.
