Why the study?
Does cardiopulmonary exercise testing improve sudden cardiac death risk stratification in outpatients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
Does cardiopulmonary exercise testing improve sudden cardiac death risk stratification in outpatients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
The VE/VCO2 slope derived from cardiopulmonary exercise testing may improve sudden cardiac death risk stratification in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, particularly those at low-intermediate risk.

May refine SCD stratification in HCM outpatients; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Magrì et al. (2016) studied this question.
