-
experts in heart abnormalities generally recommend that those with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy not participate in most competitive sports, with the possible exception of some low-intensity sports. you should really talk with your cardiologist about specific recommendations for you...no one here will give you better answer then him - he knows the severity of your hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
