Why the study?

Does the septal to lateral isovolumic relaxation time (s/l IVRT) ratio assessed by tissue Doppler imaging differentiate hypertrophic cardiomyopathy from other causes of left ventricular hypertrophy?

Population

211 individuals, including 148 patients with left ventricular hypertrophy and 63 healthy controls.

Comparison

Regional tissue Doppler imaging to assess septal… vs Comparison between hypertrophic cardiomyopathy…

Design

Cross-sectional

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

s/l IVRT ratio may aid HCM differentiation in LVH; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.

Structured PICO

Does the septal to lateral isovolumic relaxation time (s/l IVRT) ratio assessed by tissue Doppler imaging differentiate hypertrophic cardiomyopathy from other causes of left ventricular hypertrophy?

Population

211 individuals, including 148 patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (81 hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, 55 arterial hypertension, 12 Fabry disease) and 63 healthy controls.

Intervention

Regional tissue Doppler imaging to assess septal to lateral isovolumic relaxation time (s/l IVRT) ratio

Comparator

Comparison between hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, other causes of left ventricular hypertrophy (arterial hypertension, Fabry disease), and healthy controls

Outcome

Septal to lateral isovolumic relaxation time (s/l IVRT) ratio for differentiating HCM from other entities of LVHsurrogate
