Impact of cibenzoline treatment on left ventricular remodelling and prognosis in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy

Abstract Aims This study aimed to elucidate the long‐term effect of cibenzoline therapy on cardiovascular complications and prognosis in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Methods and results Eighty‐eight patients with HOCM were treated with cibenzoline (Group A), and 41 p...

description Abstract Aims This study aimed to elucidate the long‐term effect of cibenzoline therapy on cardiovascular complications and prognosis in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Methods and results Eighty‐eight patients with HOCM were treated with cibenzoline (Group A), and 41 patients did not receive cibenzoline (Group B). The changes in left ventricular (LV) remodelling, incidences of cardiovascular complications and deaths, were examined. The mean follow‐up period was 15.8 ± 5.6 years in Group A and 17.8 ± 7.2 years in Group B. In Group A, the LV pressure gradient (LVPG) decreased immediately after treatment, and the reduction was maintained throughout the study. In Group B, the LVPG decreased gradually according to the deterioration of LV function. LV reverse remodelling was confirmed in Group A, and LV remodelling advanced in Group B. In Group A, the incidence of each cardiovascular complication was <10%. Only one patient experienced LV heart failure (LVHF). LVHF incidence and atrial fibrillation were higher in Group B than those in Group A (P < 0.0001). The incidence of death was 20.5% in Group A and 90.2% in Group B (P < 0.0001). The most frequent cause of death was sudden cardiac death (SCD) (38.9%) in Group A and LVHF (67.6%) in Group B. The incidence of SCD showed no significant difference between the two groups. The cumulative cardiac survival rate was higher in Group A than that in Group B (P < 0.0001). Conclusions Cibenzoline treatment significantly reduced all cardiovascular complications and death due to LVHF and may be a promising treatment in patients with HOCM.
