Drs. Mustafa Husaini, Richard Bach, and Sharon Cresci of the Cardiovascular Division published a case report in the August 2024 edition of the Journal of the American Academy of Cardiology, titled “Exercise Testing to Unmask Latent LVOT Obstruction in a Highly Symptomatic Patient With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy”.
From the 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.”
