BACKGROUND Anticoagulation is recommended for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) according to European and American guidelines. However, it is unclear whether HCM is a risk factor for thromboembolism in NVAF in Japan, and the management for NVAF with HCM is not established.OBJECTIVE We studied the impact of concomitant HCM on predicting thromboembolism in NVAF.METHODS We retrospectively studied consecutive 2374 Japanese patients with NVAF (1682 men, 70.9%; mean age 71 +/- 10 years). Clinical factors were evaluated using the Cox proportional hazards model. We also investigated whether adding HCM to CHADS(2) or CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score improved the prediction of thromboembolism.RESULTS Thromboembolism was observed in 122 patients (5.1%) during the median follow-up of 2.4 years (interquartile range 2.0-3.2 years). The Cox proportional hazards model showed that HCM was significantly associated with thromboembolism after adjustment for CHADS(2) or CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score (hazard ratio 3.41; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.98-5.73; P
