Why the study?
Do early diastolic time intervals measured by echocardiogram, apexcardiogram, and phonocardiogram differentiate hypertrophic cardiomyopathy from myocardial hypertrophy due to essential hypertension?

Analysis of early diastolic time intervals, particularly MVO-O time, can help differentiate hypertrophic cardiomyopathy from hypertensive myocardial hypertrophy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
MVO-O time may aid noninvasive differentiation of HCM from hypertensive hypertrophy; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Hamada et al. (1983) studied this question.
