Abstract
Resting left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) occurs in 25% of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and is an important cause of symptoms and disease progression. The prevalence and clinical significance of exercise-induced LVOTO in patients with symptomatic non-obstructive HCM is uncertain.
