Introduction: In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), wall stress and subclinical myocardial injury related in part to pathological hypercontractility, which in turn are associated with worse outcomes. Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is released from cardiomyocytes (cfDNA-CM) through irreversible cellular injury and death. We investigated the feasibility of quantifying cfDNA-CM and its relationship to HCM patient characteristics. Methods: We analyzed 57 plasma samples from stable patients with HCM and 10 plasma samples from patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Plasma cfDNA was isolated from bo
