What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Exercise TrainingBehavioural
Exercise will be performed under continuous telemetry monitoring and medical supervision. Each session will include 5-10 worm-up, 30 min of aerobic activity on treadmill or bicycle ergometer followed by 10-15 min of stretch and relaxation exercise. Blood pressure will be obtained before the onset and at the end of each session. Participants will be requested to rest and observed 15-30 min before going home. The exercise intensity will be monitored and adjusted, per protocol, according to RPE using the Borg scale.

Exercise prescription will be based upon cardiopulmonary test done at baseline. Receives: Behavioral: Exercise Training |
| Best Medical Care | Active comparator | Advanced HCM patients who are eligible to participate in the study but cannot do so for technical reasons will be invited to participate in the project as a control group.These subjects will continue their regular follow up in the Cardiomyopathy Clinic and their usual voluntary physical activity at home.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Functional capacity improvement as determined by the degree of percent change in VO2 MAX following structured exercise rehabilitation
End point to be assessed by cardiopulmonary testing are pre- and post exercise training improvement as expressed by the changes in : VO2 MAX, exercise duration, duration to ventilatory threshold(VT).
Measured: 6 months
Safety of exercise training in patients with symptomatic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Safety endpoonts: 1) Clinicaly significant arrhythmia during exercise training 2)MACE during follow-up period (ACS, Stroke or Death) 3)Exercise Related Injury 4) Episodes of syncope
Measured: 12 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Secondary Endpoints:
- The effect on quality of life
- The change in maximal wall thickness, LVEF, resting and exercise-induced left ventricular outflow gradient and pulmonary artery pressure (stress echo).
- Resting BNP and troponin I levels
Measured: 12 months

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jan 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Arad Michael, MD (Michael.Arad@sheba.health.gov.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Functional capacity improvement as determined by the degree of percent change in VO2 MAX following structured exercise rehabilitation (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Jan 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
