[Abstract] Objective To evaluate the association between myocardial fibrosis by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and adverse outcomes in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).Materials and Methods We searched databases including PUBMED, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI and Wanfang database from the time of database establishment to August 2023, and selected observational cohort studies evaluating the association between myocardial fibrosis by CMR-LGE and adverse events in HCM patients, and then screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. A Meta-analysis was performed to combine and establish hazard ratio (HR) of results. All statistical analyses were performed using STATA 15.0.Results Data extracted from 17 studies including 6576 patients with HCM were reviewed. Totally, the presence of LGE had increased risk of combined adverse end points {HR=2.34 [95% (confidence interval, CI): 1.55-3.53], P<0.01} and heart failure (HF) [HR=2.32 (95% CI: 1.37-3.93), P<0.01] in HCM patients. And myocardial LGE positive was not significantly associated with increased risk of cardiac death [HR=1.86 (95% CI: 0.80-4.30), P=0.15] and sudden cardiac death (SCD) [HR=1.98 (95% CI: 0.64-6.15), P=0.24] in HCM patients. The amount of LGE (per 10% increase) was associated with increased risk for combined adverse end points [HR=1.53 (95% CI: 1.35-1.74), P<0.01], all-cause death [HR=1.42 (95% CI: 1.22-1.65), P<0.01], cardiac death [HR=1.55 (95% CI: 1.34-1.80), P<0.01], SCD [HR=1.51 (95% CI: 1.28-1.79), P<0.01] and HF [HR=1.51 (95% CI: 1.26-1.80), P<0.01] events in HCM patients.Conclusions Myocardial LGE is associated with increased risk of adverse outcomes in HCM patients and can be used as an independent predictor of prognosis in HCM patients.
