Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is predominantly associated with left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. The assessment of the obstruction with a provoking test should be a routine part of HCM evaluation. The aim of the study was to determine the utility of a sublingual spray application of isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) for detection of an obstruction.
