Does myocardial work assessed noninvasively using echocardiography and blood pressure measurement predict long-term outcome in patients with nonobstructive HCM?
Noninvasive assessment of myocardial work by echocardiography is associated with long-term outcomes in patients with nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Myocardial work, assessed noninvasively using echocardiography and blood pressure measurement, is reduced in patients with nonobstructive HCM; it correlates with maximum LV wall thickness and is significantly associated with a worse long-term outcome.
Hiemstra et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
