Article Synopsis
- Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) face restrictions on competitive sports due to risks of sudden cardiac issues, which leads to a sedentary lifestyle that can harm their health.
- The study compared active HCM patients to sedentary ones and found that those who exercised had better cardiopulmonary fitness and similar arrhythmia rates, while sedentary individuals had worse fitness and higher obesity rates.
- A personalized moderate-intensity exercise plan was shown to improve fitness in HCM patients without any negative effects, suggesting that tailored exercise can be beneficial for this population.
