Blood pressure cuff may replace invasive heart tests for HCM patients
NCT ID NCT07483125
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a non-invasive blood pressure monitor can accurately detect blockages in the heart's main pumping chamber in people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Researchers will compare blood pressure readings with standard invasive measurements in 800 adults with HCM. The goal is to find a safer, easier way to diagnose and monitor this condition without needles or catheters.

Who is studied
HCM patients: In this study, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was used as the gold standard. Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) was defined as a resting left ventricular outflow tract gradient (LVOTG) ≥ 30 mmHg, or an LVOTG ≥ 50 mmHg after provocation tests (e.g., Valsalva maneuver), according

Inclusion Criteria:1: ① Age ≥ 18 years 2: ② Diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) by echocardiography, with or without left ventricular outflow tract obstruction 3: ③ Conscious and mentally competent, able to understand and voluntarily sign the informed consent form 4: ④ Able to cooperate with the completion of provocation tests, non-invasive dynamic hemodynamic monitoring, and relevant follow-up examinations. \- Exclusion Criteria: * 1: ① Age ≤ 18 years, or pregnant/lactating patients 2: ② Presence of other organic heart or great vessel diseases that cause left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, such as severe aortic stenosis, congenital subaortic membrane, etc. 3: ③ Complicated with persistent atrial fibrillation or other severe arrhythmias that may affect the accuracy of hemodynamic monitoring 4: ④ Previous history of interventional or surgical therapy for left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, including septal ablation or myectomy 5: ⑤ Patients with other conditions considered inappropriate by the investigators (e.g., those with absolute or relative contraindications to provocation tests) 6: ⑥ Patients currently participating in other clinical studies.
