Although hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), the most common inherited cardiomyopathy, has mortality rate as low as general population, previous studies have focused on identifying high-risk of sudden cardiac death. Thus, long-term systemic impact of HCM is still unclear. We sought to investigate the association between HCM and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This was a nationwide population-based cohort study using the National Health Insurance Service database.

During follow-up (median 2.8 years), ESRD developed in 197 subjects; 111 (1.08%) in the HCM, and 86 (0.17%) in the non-HCM (incidence rate 4.14 vs. 0.60 per 1,000 person-years, p
