• Chest pain in adult patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) remains challenging to distinguish from coronary artery disease. • Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) can assess the severity and characteristics of coronary atherosclerosis in symptomatic HCM patients. • Adding CCTA variables to clinical and echocardiographic factors may increase the predictions of adverse cardiac events in HCM patients, and thus evaluating coronary atherosclerosis using CCTA may be helpful for HCM patients with chest pain.
