Cover Story: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is characterized by left ventricular obstruction and diastolic dysfunction. This review explores the mechanisms of left ventricular obstruction, discusses its identification through baseline assessment and provokable maneuvers, and emphasizes its impact on symptoms and prognosis. Recent trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of both established and novel drugs in symptom management and prognosis improvement. The aim of this review is to provide insights into the obstruction mechanism, diagnosis, and therapeutic strategies for patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. View this paper
