Why the study?
Do moderate to large defects on BMIPP myocardial scintigraphy predict decreased cardiac function and poor prognosis in patients with nonobstructive HCM?
Do moderate to large defects on BMIPP myocardial scintigraphy predict decreased cardiac function and poor prognosis in patients with nonobstructive HCM?
Moderate to large defects on BMIPP myocardial scintigraphy are associated with decreased cardiac function and significantly worse long-term prognosis in patients with nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Moderate/large BMIPP defects were associated with poor prognosis in nonobstructive HCM; hypothesis-generating for risk stratification, prospective validation needed.
Shimizu et al. (2000) studied this question.
