Abstract

A comparison of blood pressure response with exercise stress, thallium scintigraphy, and 24-hour electrocardiographic monitoring between 5 patients with left ventricular hypertrophy associated with glycogen storage disease type III and 10 matched patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy revealed normal results in the former group. These data highlight the importance of the etiology of left ventricular hypertrophy before the application of risk stratification.
