Do mechanical dispersion and global longitudinal peak strain predict appropriate ICD therapy in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
Mechanical dispersion and global longitudinal strain measured by speckle tracking echocardiography can independently predict appropriate ICD therapy in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, potentially improving risk stratification.
