Baseline characteristics of study population.
| Parameter (n = 32) | |
|---|---|
| Age [yrs] | 44 ± 16 (range, 11–70) |
| Follow Up [yrs] | 5.2 ± 2.4 (range, 0.8–9.1) |
| BMI [kg/m2] | 27 ± 4 (range, 19–37) |
| BSA [m2] | 2.0 ± 0.2 (range, 1.6–2.5) |
| Male [n] | 26 (81 %) |
| HOCM [n (%)] | 4 (13 %) |
| HOCM ΔpRest, [mmHg] | 39 ± 21 (range, 16–60) |
| HOCM ΔpValsalva, [mmHg] | 100 ± 16 (range, 72–110) |
Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation with minimum to maximum range.
BMI = body mass index; BSA = body surface area; HOCM = hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy; ΔpRest/ΔpValsalva = peak intraventricular pressure gradient at rest / Valsalva maneuver measured by continuous wave Doppler echocardiography.
