Exercise training for people with hypertrophic heart muscle
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a 24-week exercise program can improve exercise tolerance in people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (a thickened heart muscle). You may be asked to use phone-based tools and complete surveys during training.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 18 to 80, and have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy confirmed by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound)
- Have a low-to-moderate outflow “pressure/gradient” (less than 30 mmHg) at rest and during provocation tests
- Have a heart pumping strength (ejection fraction) of 50% or higher
- Be able to exercise for 24 weeks and use a smartphone and online surveys
- Have access to exercise equipment at home or a fitness center

This study compares two types of gentle exercises—breathing muscle training and a traditional Chinese movement practice called Baduanjin—to see which helps people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy feel better and improve their daily life. If you have a thickened heart muscle but are stable and have mild symptoms, you may be able to join.
This is an observational study (it mainly tracks what happens over time) for people with thickened heart muscle due to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. You may be eligible if an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) shows the required thickness and you don’t have certain heart valve disease.
This study creates a registry (a detailed record) for people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a condition where the heart muscle is thicker than normal. It aims to learn more about the condition over time.
This study looks for blood and other markers that can explain how people with heart failure respond to exercise training. It may help researchers better tailor exercise or treatment plans for heart failure in the future.
This trial tests whether a personalized exercise program can safely improve fitness and daily activity for people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (a heart muscle condition). You would work with experts to build a routine that fits your needs and current health.
This study tests a personalized exercise program for people with heart failure to see if it can improve their health and daily life. It uses a smartphone or tablet to guide your workouts.
