Abstract:【Objective】 To compare the clinical characteristics of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with hypertension (HTN) and HCM without HTN. 【Methods】 The clinical data of 170 patients with HCM admitted to the People's Hospital of Peking University from December 2012 to July 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. They were divided into HCM with HTN group (n=57) and HCM without HTN group (n=113) according to whether HTN was incorporated or not. The basic data, ultrasonic parameters and medication of the two groups were compared. 【Results】 The age, smoking history, diabetes, dyslipidemia, coronary heart disease and atrial fibrillation of HCM patients with HTN were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). Echocardiography showed that the diameter of ascending aorta in HCM with HTN group was significantly wider than that in HCM without HTN group (P<0.05). The drug use rates of HCM combined with HTN group ACEI/ARB,β receptor blockers, diuretics, calcium antagonists, aspirin/clopidogrel, statins and nitrates were significantly higher than those of HCM without HTN (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】HCM and HTN can coexist at the same time. HCM patients with HTN have a significantly higher risk of diabetes, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, and atrial fibrillation.
