What is a reasonable class of antihypertensive to start in patients with HCM who remain hypertensive and symptomatic in spite of maximal doses of beta blockade or calcium channel blockers?

My answer is based on the experience and not the research data per se in HCM:
- I will add low-dose HCTZ (12.5 mg daily). It won't cause dehydration or hypokalemia and might do wonders in managing HTN in these patients. One of the cheapest and most effective!
- Or I would consider Spironolactone instea...
