Implication

Regional hypertrophy may inform diastolic assessment in HCM/HHD; supports mechanistic hypotheses but leaves causality open.

Structured PICO

Population

39 subjects, including 17 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, 12 patients with hypertensive heart disease, and 10 age-matched normal subjects.

Intervention

Doppler tissue imaging and echocardiography

Comparator

Age-matched normal subjects

Outcome

Correlation between regional wall thickness (rWT) and regional relaxation indices (rIVRT and rE/A)surrogate

The local extent of left ventricular hypertrophy is associated with regional left ventricular relaxation abnormalities in both hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and hypertensive heart disease.
