Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Age in the range 18-60 2. Availability of a 12-lead rest-ECG, performed not earlier than 60 days prior to enrollment visit (EV).

Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The comparison of global Myocardial Blood Flow g(MBF), after vasodilation by administration of Dipyridamole, (post-Dipi gMBF), measured by 13N-NH3 PET/CT, before and after a six month long treatment with Perindoprilarginine, in a sample of HCM patients belonging to moderate or high risk groups according to baseline post- Dipi gMBF <2.1 ml/min*gr.;Secondary Objective: The comparison of global Myocardial Blood Flow g(MBF) at rest before and after a six month long treatment with Perindopril-arginine, in a sample of HCM patients belonging to moderate or high risk groups according to baseline post-Dipi gMBF <2.1 ml/min*gr. 2- The comparison of Coronary Flow Reserve (CFR), before and after a six month-long treatment with Perindopril-arginine, in a sample of HCM patients belonging to moderate or high risk groups according to baseline post-Dipi gMBF <2.1 ml/min*gr. 3- The assessment of safety of administration of Perindopril-arginine in a sample of HCM patients belonging to moderate or high risk groups according to baseline post-Dipi gMBF <2.1 ml/min*gr.;Primary end point(s): Change of post-vasodilatation global Myocardial Blood Flow (post-Dipi gMBF), calculated as the difference between post-Dipi gMBF at the end of a six months-long treatment period with the ACE-inhibitor Perindopril-arginine and baseline values (measurements made by 13N-NH3 PET/CT);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 6 months | — |
