Prediction of Cardiac Death in Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Using Plasma Adipokine Levels

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) causes cardiac death through both sudden cardiac death (SCD) and death due to heart failure (HF). Although adipokines lead to adverse cardiac remodeling in HCM, the prognostic value of plasma adipokines in HCM remains unknown. We aimed to predict cardiac death in patients with HCM using plasma adipokines.
