Hyperuricemia has been regarded as a risk factor for various cardiovascular diseases. However, few studies have evaluated its influence on thromboembolism in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the association between hyperuricemia and thromboembolism in a retrospective HCM cohort. ⋯ The association lost statistical significance among patients without AF and obstructive ones. Hyperuricemia significantly predicts future thromboembolism in HCM patients, especially in HCM patients with AF and non-obstructive HCM patients. Future studies are warranted for further evaluation.
