Abstract 236: Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Comparing Exercise Tolerance, Cardiac Remodeling, Clinical and Genetic Data [Session Title: Poster Session II]

Conclusions: OSA occurs frequently in HCM and is associated with decreased exercise tolerance, worse hemodynamics, poor outcome as well as increased LV mass, which may be attenuated by therapy. OSA is an important and modifiable risk factor in HCM. Prospective evaluation utilizing PSG based diagnosis and positive pressure therapy is warranted.
