Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most frequently occurring sustained arrhythmia in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), is linked to poor quality of life and increased thromboembolic risk. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and reduced kidney function are known cardiovascular risk factors; however, their contributions to new‐onset AF in patients with HCM remain unclear. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a key marker for CKD management. This study aimed to elucidate the incidence of new‐onset AF and to identify predictive factors in patients with HCM.
