A Real-world HCM-cohort Trial

Sponsor: Xijing Hospital

Summary

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetically mediated myocardial disease predominantly caused by pathogenic mutations in sarcomeric protein genes and characterized by asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. Patients with HCM commonly present with dyspnea, chest pain, and exercise intolerance. Sudden cardiac death, progressive heart failure, and thromboembolic events remain the leading causes of mortality and morbidity, substantially impairing quality of life and increasing healthcare burden. Despite advances in understanding the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of HCM, significant challenges persist, including etiological heterogeneity and underdiagnosis. At present, dedicated and systematic HCM databases remain lacking in China. Establishing a nationally HCM cohort and disease-specific database is therefore of considerable importance. In alignment with the goals of the "Healthy China 2030" initiative and supported by advances in medical big data technologies. This study aims to construct a comprehensive HCM cohort, evaluate contemporary diagnostic and therapeutic practices and patient prognosis, identify relevant risk factors, and ultimately improve the overall management of patients with HCM.
