The BASIC (bisoprolol AS therapy in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) study. PG - 22-28 LID - S0167-5273(22)00332-1 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ijcard.2022.03.013 [doi] AB - AIMS: To evaluate the role of bisoprolol to control symptoms and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) in a consecutive cohort of adults with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). METHODS AND RESULTS: In this retrospective study, patients with HCM with an LVOT gradient >/=50 mmHg after Valsalva manoeuvre and New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II-III symptoms were assigned to receive bisoprolol (starting at 1.25 mg daily). The initial dose was increased every two weeks to achieve the target in LVOT gradient <30 mmHg or the maximum tolerated dose. The primary endpoint was the achievement of a LVOT gradient <30 mmHg and >/= 1 NYHA class improvement. The secondary endpoints were proportion of patients with LVOT gradient <30 mmHg or < 50 mmHg, proportion of patients with >/=1 NYHA class improvement, and change from baseline in LVOT gradient. Between December 2001 and December 2020, 92 patients were enrolled into the study. Sixteen (17%) patients on bisoprolol met the primary endpoint. Bisoprolol reduced the LVOT gradient to less than 30 mmHg in 33 (36%) patients, to less than 50 mmHg in 57 (62%), and improved NYHA class in 30 (33%). The mean reduction of LVOT gradient on bisoprolol was 28 (+/-14) mmHg and the percentage reduction was 42 (+/-21) %. In 35 (38%) patients, bisoprolol did not reduce the gradient to less than 50 mmHg requiring disopyramide and/or myectomy to achieve this goal. CONCLUSION: Treatment with bisoprolol was well-tolerated and effective in relieving obstruction and improving symptoms in a significant proportion of patients with symptomatic obstructive HCM.
