Haemodynamic changes during exercise may have important clinical and prognostic correlations in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Supine exercise steress echocardiography was performed in 34 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (19 males, average age: 45±12 years). During the test echocardiographic parameters, including left ventricular outflow tract gradient (LVOTG) was measured at three time points: at baseline, at peak exercise and at recovery phase. In twenty patients invasive haemodynamic examination has been also done. | |
