3,000 hearts, one goal: mapping how hypertrophic cardiomyopathy unfolds in china
NCT ID NCT06775665
First seen Sep 15, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are following 3,000 Chinese adults with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a condition that thickens the heart muscle and can disrupt blood flow. The study records how patients are treated in everyday hospitals and tracks health events such as stroke, heart failure hospitalization, and cardiovascular death over time. No experimental treatment is given; the goal is to understand the disease's real-world course and care patterns in this population.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If the study succeeds, it could give doctors a clearer picture of how hypertrophic cardiomyopathy behaves in Chinese patients and which treatments help most.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it cannot prove that any treatment works. Results may reflect only the hospitals involved and may not apply to other populations.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Willing and able to provide written informed consent (ICF) and any required privacy authorization before the start of the study. 2. Aged ≥18 years at the time of signing the written informed consent. 3. Diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) according to the 2023 Guideline for Diagnosis and Treatment of Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, meeting the following criteria: 1. Left ventricular wall thickness ≥15 mm in any segment at end-diastole, as assessed by echocardiography or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). 2. Left ventricular wall thickness ≥13 mm in individuals with a positive pathogenic gene test or those identified as members of a genetically affected family. 3. Exclusion of other cardiovascular diseases or systemic/metabolic diseases causing ventricular wall thickening. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Uncontrolled primary hypertension. 2. Moderate or severe aortic valve stenosis and/or primary mitral valve disease with severe mitral regurgitation. 3. Confirmed infiltrative or storage diseases with a phenotype resembling hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (e.g., Fabry disease, amyloidosis). 4. Expected life expectancy \<1 years. 5. Severe infections, liver failure, renal failure, or other life-threatening conditions.
