Prognostic value of CMR-derived myocardial strain in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Puntos clave

• Myocardial strain significantly predicts outcomes in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, highlighting its clinical importance.
• A meta-analysis of 15 studies shows that patients with abnormal strain have higher risks of major adverse events.
• Systematic review included various datasets emphasizing the robustness of the findings across different populations.
• These findings suggest that integrating myocardial strain measurements may improve patient management and risk stratification.
