An exercise stress test is often times involved in the work-up and evaluation of a patient with IHSS or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Other tests usually involved in the evaluation include an echocardiogram and/or a cardiac catheterization (only if indicated). The decision on which tests are used for evaluation are based primarily on the clinical presentation of the condition.
