Background Determination of myocardial deformation (strain) by two‐dimensional (2D)
speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is a new method for evaluating left ventricular (LV) …

Objective Abnormal left ventricular (LV) deformational mechanics have been demonstrated
in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) using two‐dimensional (2 D) speckle …

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore right ventricular (RV) mechanical function in
patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) by 2-D speckle tracking echocardiography …

Introduction Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) represents a generalized myopathic
process affecting both ventricular and atrial myocardium. Reduced left atrial (LA) function …

The aim is to detect early changes in myocardial mechanics in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
(HCM) mutation carriers, three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3DSTE) …

Background Conventional echocardiography is not sensitive enough to assess left
ventricular (LV) dysfunction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients. This research …

Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction is predictive of a worse outcome in
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). In a detailed Doppler echocardiographic study of 178 …

Purpose In order to evaluate compensatory mechanisms in hypertrophic-cardiomyopathy
(HCM) subjects with preserved left-ventricular (LV) ejection-fraction (EF), we measured …

Background: Vector velocity imaging (VVI) is a two-dimensional wall motion tracking method
that can measure cardiac mechanics in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). 3D-speckle …

Purpose Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) impairs left ventricular (LV) diastolic function
leading to left atrial (LA) dilatation. Because Doppler echocardiography cannot accurately …
