Figure 1.
Figure 1.. a) Hazard ratios for sudden cardiac death or cardiovascular death for previous adverse event.
The size of the square corresponds with the number of patients in the study. The bars represent the upper and lower 95% CI. Hazard ratios with CI >1 indicate a significant association with sudden cardiac death. b) Odds ratios for sudden cardiac death or cardiovascular death for previous adverse event. The size of the square corresponds with the number of patients in the study. The bars represent the upper and lower 95% CI. Odds ratios with CI >1 indicate a significant association with sudden cardiac death. Reproduced from Norrish et al.

*Major paediatric risk factors: Maximum left ventricular wall thickness ≥30mmor a Z-score ≥6, unexplained syncope, non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (≥3 consecutive ventricular beats at ≥120 BPM lasting, 30 seconds), family history of SCD (one or more first-degree relatives with SCD aged, 40 years with or without the diagnosis of HCM, or SCD in a first-degree relative at any age with an established diagnosis of HCM).
