Summary

The investigators propose a pilot randomized controlled trial to determine the safety and potential benefits of moderate intensity exercise in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The investigators hypotheses are that exercise parameters derived from a baseline cardiopulmonary exercise test will target an appropriately safe level of exercise intensity that will not cause significant arrhythmias or exacerbate symptoms and that exercise training for 4 months will result in significant improvements in peak oxygen consumption (peak VO2) and quality of life, with neutral effects on the clinical characteristics.

Conditions

  • Cardiomyopathy, Hypertrophic

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Exercise training

4 months of exercise training that is custom-designed based on individual cardiopulmonary stress test data. Regimen starts at low intensity (60% of heart rate reserve) and frequency (20 minutes, 3 days per week) and increases with a goal of 70% of heart rate reserve and exercising 60 minutes 4-7 days per week.
