1. What proportion of obstructive HCM patients demonstrate LVOT obstruction at rest and with provocation, respectively?
*
a. 50% and 70%

c. 10% and 25%
d. 25% and 70%
2. During a pre-participation evaluation, a college American style football player is found to have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Electrocardiogram and resting transthoracic echocardiogram are consistent with a diagnosis of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Which of the following statements regarding the patient’s athletic activities is most consistent with current ACC/AHA guidelines?
*
a. The patient should cease all structured athletic activities due to the increased risk of sudden death during sport participation in the setting of HCM.
b. The patient should only participate in low-intensity, low-impact sports such as bowling, golf, or curling.
c. The patient should be assessed by an expert provider with experience in assessing and treating athletes with HCM. For some athletes with HCM, return to athletic participation (including vigorous exercise) is reasonable.
d. If the patient agrees to have an ICD placed, he can be cleared to return to playing competitive soccer.
e. The patient should be assessed by an expert provider with experience in assessing and treating athletes with HCM. For athletes with HCM who are asymptomatic, a clearance to return to play is reasonable and requires no further testing.
3. You are evaluating a 47-year-old female with HCM. She has no symptoms and no high-risk features for sudden cardiac arrest. Which statement is true regarding her plans to resume regular exercise?
*
a. The long-term cardiac benefits of exercise in HCM are negated by the increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias and death among patients with HCM who exercise.
b. Exercise is beneficial for the cardiac and overall health of patients with HCM but should be done at lower volumes and intensities as compared without HCM.
c. Patients with HCM should not exceed 50% of their age-predicted maximal heart rate during exercise as this is associated with an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias.
d. She should work towards a goal of achieving 150-300 minutes per week of moderate intensity physical exercise.
