More than one-third of our HCM cohort presented in infancy. LV outflow tract obstruction is common (47%). Mid myocardial enhancement was the most common pattern of late gadolinium enhancement. SCD was the most common cause of death. The outcome in our HCM cohort is good and similar to other population cohorts. Only Consanguinity showed a trend towards higher events of death or ventricular arrhythmias.
