Popis: Objectives. We examined by thallium-201 scintigraphy whether exercise-induced abnormal blood pressure response (BPR) is related to myocardial ischemia.Background. Hemodynamic instabilities during exercise in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) are considered to be caused by abnormal reflex control of vascular resistance.Methods. In 105 patients with HCM, exercise thallium scintigraphy was performed by means of a multistage, symptom-limited bicycle ergometer exercise test.Results. Eighty-eight patients had normal BPR (≥25 mm Hg from baseline to peak exercise), and 17 had abnormal BPR (
