Why the study?
Does cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) predict heart failure-related events in outpatients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
Does cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) predict heart failure-related events in outpatients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
A novel risk model (HYPERHF) incorporating cardiopulmonary exercise testing parameters and left atrial diameter accurately predicts heart failure progression in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
