Why the study?
Does delayed enhancement on MRI correlate with impaired regional left ventricular function in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
Does delayed enhancement on MRI correlate with impaired regional left ventricular function in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
In patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, delayed enhancement on MRI is associated with significantly impaired regional left ventricular function, independent of the degree of myocardial hypertrophy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports association of delayed enhancement with regional LV dysfunction in HCM independent of hypertrophy; leaves open prognostic and therapeutic implications.
