Does the HCM Risk-Kids model predict sudden cardiac death at 5 years in childhood hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
The novel HCM Risk-Kids model provides individualized 5-year sudden cardiac death risk estimates for children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy using readily obtained clinical factors.
This new, validated risk stratification model for SCD in childhood HCM may provide individualized estimates of risk at 5 years using readily obtained clinical risk factors. External validation studies are required to demonstrate the accuracy of this model's predictions in diverse patient populations.
Norrish et al. (2019) studied this question.
