Note: CI, confidence interval; CVD, cardiovascular disease; DVT, deep vein thrombosis; HCM, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; MI, myocardial infarction; PE, pulmonary embolism; SCD, sudden cardiac death. Non-disease estimates are obtained among up to 10 randomly selected patients without hypertrophic cardiomyopathy matched for sex, age, medical practice and index date; PY, person-years of follow-up.
