Supports association of regional nonuniformity with impaired relaxation in nonobstructive HCM; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Does regional nonuniformity correlate with impaired left ventricular relaxation in patients with nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy compared to normal controls?
Regional nonuniformity during isovolumic relaxation is closely related to the impairment of global left ventricular relaxation in patients with nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Hayashida et al. (1991) studied this question.
