Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy is characterized by unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy. It
is uncertain, however, to what extent the right ventricle is also thickened. Right ventricular …

Between 1963 and 1983 personal experience has covered 136 patients with hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy (HCM). Age varied from 3 months to 68 years (mean: 35, 4 years) with a …

BACKGROUND: The left atrium is afterload sensitive, responding to immediate changes in
left ventricular (LV) diastolic pressure, and left atrial volumetric remodeling has been …

To evaluate the relationship between the extent of left ventricular hypertrophy and
ventricular or atrial arrhythmias, 77 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy underwent …

In patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC), it is difficult to determine the severity of
left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction. Three different patterns of LV posterior wall motion …

We examined whether pulmonary venous flow variables, assessed by transthoracic Doppler
echocardiography, could predict mean pulmonary wedge pressure in hypertrophic …

Left atrial (LA) enlargement is an indicator of chronic elevation in left ventricular (LV) end-
diastolic pressure as well as diastolic dysfunction. There is a lack of data on the significance …

Flow propagation velocity (FPV) of left ventricular (LV) filling flow has been shown to be a
useful index for the evaluation of LV diastolic function, which is relatively independent of …

OBJECTIVES.: This study sought to achieve an understanding of the true structural
heterogeneity of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. BACKGROUND.: The diversity and clinical …

Echocardiography was used to evaluate the incidence, flow dynamics and morphological
characteristics of right ventricular obstruction in 91 patients with hypertrophic …
