Tissue Doppler imaging cannot differentiate feline HCM from SHT-related LVH; leaves open its role in phenotyping beyond hypertrophy assessment.
Can tissue Doppler imaging differentiate feline HCM from SHT-related LVH based on left-ventricular free-wall motion?
Tissue Doppler imaging detects similar systolic and diastolic segmental functional changes in both hypertrophied and nonhypertrophied wall segments in cats with HCM and systemic hypertension.
Sampedrano et al. (2006) studied this question.
