Of those, 54 patients had sinus node dysfunction (SND) and 43 patients had atrioventricular block (AVB); 11 patients had both SND and AVB. Fibrosis was more severe in patients with primary bradycardia in HCM, and the patterns of fibrosis were different. Median follow-up was 6.8 years. SND only and AVB only were significantly associated with an increased risk of all-cause death (SND only: adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 2.219, P = .012; AVB only: aHR, 2.425, P = .007), cardiovascular death (SND only: aHR, 2.737, P = .019; AVB only: aHR, 3.853, P < .001), and HF-related death (SND only: aHR, 4.217, P = .027; AVB only: aHR, 9.367, P < .001). The coexistence of SND and AVB was associated with an even worse prognosis than with SND or AVB alone.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Primary bradycardia, including SND and AVB, independently increases the risk of all-cause death, cardiovascular death, and HF-related death in patients with HCM.
