Overview
The purpose of this research study is to understand more about various heart rhythms
(electrical problems) in persons with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with and without sleep
apnea.
Description
Adult patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and without known atrial fibrillation or
pacemaker/implantable cardiac defibrillation will undergo implantable loop recorder
implantation. No direct interventions will be performed. Prospective observation of atrial
and ventricular arrhythmia incidence and burden will be assessed, with additional analyses
performed based on the presence or absence of obstructive sleep apnea.
