Divergent myocardial functional adaptation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy versus hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy: insights from longitudinal strain and non-invasive myocardial work

Key Points

• Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy shows divergent myocardial work patterns compared to hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy, impacting treatment strategies.
• Longitudinal strain measures reveal differences in myocardial adaptation, with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy exhibiting noticeable variations.
• Analysis combines advanced imaging techniques for a comprehensive assessment of myocardial function in both conditions, enhancing diagnostics.
• Findings suggest the need for tailored management approaches based on distinct physiology in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy versus hypertension.
