Abstract

Our study identified previously unrecognized environmental determinants of exercise capacity in children with HCM, with lower child opportunity index, increased urbanization, and lower neighborhood wealth independently associated with lower exercise performance. Programs designed to increase physical activity levels and exercise performance in children with HCM should account for neighborhood and economic factors.
