Overall risk Intermediate Low High

The left ventricular outflow tract pressure gradients were as follows: nonobstructive HCM, at rest, <30 mm Hg, and provoked, <30 mm Hg; labile HCM, at rest, <30 mm Hg, and provoked, ≥30 mm Hg; and obstructive HCM, at rest, ≥30 mm Hg, and provoked, ≥30 mm Hg. + indicates low risk; ++, intermediate risk; +++, high risk; −, not applicable; AF, atrial fibrillation; HCM, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; SRT, septal reduction therapy; and VT/VF, ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation.
