There are limited data regarding the prevalence, pathophysiology and management implications of pulmonary hypertension in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and advanced heart failure. To assess the clinical significance of measured cardiopulmonary hemodynamics in HCM patients with heart failure, we retrospectively assessed right heart catheterization data in 162 consecutive patients with outflow tract gradients (median [interquartile range]) (90 [70–110] mmHg), 59±11 years old, and 49% male, predominately NYHA Class III/IV status. Pulmonary hypertension (mean pulmonary artery pressure [mPAP] ≥25 mmHg) was present in 82 patients (51%), including 29 (18%) regarded as moderate-severe (mPAP ≥35 mmHg) and 28 (34%) that also had increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) >3.0 WU. The pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) was ≤15 mmHg in 54%, indicating that left atrial hypertension was absent in a majority of patients. Notably, 9 patients (11%) met hemodynamic criteria for pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension (mPAP ≥25 mmHg, PVR >3.0 WU, PAWP ≤15 mmHg). Over a median follow-up of 327 [90–743] days after surgical myectomy (or alcohol septal ablation), 92% and 95% of patients with or without preoperative pulmonary hypertension, respectively, were asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic. One postoperative death occurred in a 59-year old woman with acute respiratory failure and mPAP=65 mmHg. Pulmonary hypertension was common in obstructive HCM patients with advanced heart failure. While possibly a contributor to pre-operative heart failure, pulmonary hypertension did not significantly influence clinical and surgical outcome. Notably, a novel patient subgroup was identified with resting invasive hemodynamics consistent with pulmonary vascular disease.
