COVID-19 in Adults With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Background: Individuals with cardiovascular disease are considered high risk for severe COVID-19. However, the clinical impact of COVID-19 in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is unknown. The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical course and outcomes of COVID-19 in patients...

Forty-five (65.3%) patients had obstructive HCM.
