What This Trial Is Studying

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited cardiac condition that affects the heart muscle of adults and children. Historically, doctors have been cautious about encouraging patients with HCM to exercise, as they were worried it could be unsafe due to the risk of heart problems or emergencies. But recent evidence shows that the risks of exercise for a patient with HCM are far lower than previously thought and exercise has many benefits for a child's general health and mental well-being and is an important part of their social development. One way…
