In contrast to prior perceptions, HCM patients with prior AF history were less likely to incur HF symptoms impairing QoL compared to HCM patients without AF. After treatment, prior history of AF did not substantially impact current QoL. These data provide a realistic appraisal for the impact that AF has on HCM patients and also offers a measure of reassurance for this patient subgroup.
