Abstract

Rest imaging in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy may underestimate or miss left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, leading to suboptimal management decisions that negatively affect symptomatic patients. The 2024 hypertrophic cardiomyopathy guidelines describe exercise stress testing as an important tool to determine overall exercise tolerance and latent, exercise-provoked left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
