Primary Outcome(s)
Main Objective: Principle question:
Does trimetazidine improve exercise capacity in patients with HCM?

We will test trimetazidine against placebo (dummy drug) in patients who have symptoms despite standard treatment.
Primary end point(s): Peak oxygen consumption (peak VO2)
Secondary Objective: Secondary question:
Does trimetazidine improve quality of life, heart pump function and heart rhythm problems in patients with HCM?
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After 3 months treatment
Secondary Outcome(s)
Secondary end point(s): • 6 minute walk distance
• Number of ventricular ectopics as determined by 24 h Holter,
• Minnesota Heart Failure score
• Echo (ejection fraction %, category of diastolic dysfunction. left atrial area, global systolic strain)
• Lab tests (NT pro BNP, Troponin T, Insulin/Glucose ratio)
• Sub maximal exercise parameters (VE/VO2 slope, VO2/work slope, VE/VCO2).
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After 3 months treatment
