Abstract
Obstructive HCM is phenotypically heterogeneous in childhood. Peak gradients less than 65 mm Hg respond well to nonsurgical management. The patient subset with higher gradients (>65 mm Hg) instead responds poorly and early myectomy should be pursued. Reassuringly, late survival in this cohort was not compromised by development of obstructive symptoms.
