Why the study?
What clinical parameters are associated with heart failure-related quality of life (KCCQ-12 score) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
What clinical parameters are associated with heart failure-related quality of life (KCCQ-12 score) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
In patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, sleep quality (PSQI) and other heart failure parameters are significantly associated with quality of life (KCCQ-12).
In patients with HCM, we investigated the association between the KCCQ-12 score and various clinical parameters. PSQI, as well as known heart failure-related clinical parameters, was significantly associated with the KCCQ-12 score. Visualising the associations of various clinical parameters with the KCCQ-12 score will help physicians to consider factors linked to the decline in QOL in patients with HCM.
