Abstract

To evaluate the severity of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) according to global, regional, and multi-layer longitudinal strain (LS) analysis using speckle-tracking echocardiography. From February 2007 to November 2014, we prospectively evaluated 375 consecutive HCM patients referred to our specialized cardiomyopathy center. Demographics, clinical, and rest and exercise echocardiographic parameters were collected according to a completely standardized protocol. Global, regional, and multilayer strain analyses were performed. Correlations between LS and other characteristics were evaluated, and we assessed their prognostic value to predict sudden cardiac death (SCD) or appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) shocks during follow-up, using Cox proportional hazards analyses. We finally included 217 patients (50.1 ± 15.6 years, 67% male) but only 179 (82%) had LS analysis of sufficient quality. An inverse relation was observed between the mean basal left ventricular (LV) LS and diastolic parameters [E/Ea (r = - 0.30) and left atrium indexed volume (r = - 0.23)], as well as between the resting LV outflow-tract maximal gradient (r = - 0.26) or during peak exercise (r = - 0.20). Mean LS in the LV hypertrophic area wa...Continue Reading

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
