Key result
Exercise training in HCM requires individualized testing and prescription tailored to disease severity.
Why the study?
The relationship between exercise and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy has evolved with updated safety and benefit data, and heterogeneity in disease severity precludes a one-size-fits-all exercise prescription, necessitating individualized approaches.
This review summarizes current evidence on the safety and benefits of exercise training in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and outlines a practical, individualized approach to exercise prescription.

May support individualized exercise in HCM; extends safety data but leaves optimal protocols open to prospective trials.
The relationship between exercise and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) has evolved over the past decade as a result of updated safety evidence and data supporting the beneficial role of exercise training in HCM patients. Heterogeneity in disease severity precludes a one-size-fits-all exercise prescription, necessitating individualized approaches to exercise testing and exercise prescriptions. This review aims to detail the existing body of literature regarding exercise in HCM as well as outline a practical approach to prescribing exercise in these patients.

Stahl et al. (2026) conducted a review in Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Exercise training and prescription was evaluated. Exercise training in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy requires an individualized approach to testing and prescription due to heterogeneity in disease severity.
