Biventricular pacemaker therapy improves exercise capacity in patients with non ‐obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy via augmented diastolic filling on exercise

ConclusionSymptomatic patients with non ‐obstructive HCM may benefit from BiV pacing via augmentation of diastolic filling on exercise rather than contractile improvement. This may be due to relief of diastolic ventricular interaction.Clinical Trial Registration:ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00504647.
