Clinical characteristics and mortality risk factors in pediatric hypertrophic, restrictive, and rapidly progressive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a retrospective cohort study with follow-up

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Logistic and Cox regression models identified risk factors for in-hospital and long-term mortality.ResultsAmong the 212 patients, 79.72% (169/212) had HCM, 16.98% (36/212) had RCM, and 3.30% (7/212) had RP-HCM. BackgroundPediatric cardiomyopathies are rare but life-threatening conditions with high mortality.
