To identify new echocardiographic indexes of long-axis function that might differentiate
between pathologic and physiologic left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, we compared 60 …

To evaluate the prognostic significance of diastolic function in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
(HC), technetium-99m gated equilibrium radionuclide angiography, acquired in list mode …

To assess the reliability of the classic echocardiographic features in the heart with
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy as criteria that differentiate it from normal heart and as …

The mechanisms underlying reduced exercise capacity in patients with nonobstructive
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (NHCM) could include perturbations of ventricular relaxation …

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether maximal left atrial (LA)
volume and phasic atrial function would be further altered in patients with hypertrophic …

Impaired left ventricular (LV) filling is known to be a major determinant of non-obstructive
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Seventeen patients with non-obstructive HCM (mean …

To estimate the effects of diltiazem on the left ventricular diastolic abnormalities in patients
with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, transmitral flow velocity during diastole was studied …

The relation of ECG findings to presenting features and prognosis was evaluated in 125
consecutive patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC). Seventy-nine men and 46 …

Sixty-nine patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy were studied by 2-dimensional and
Doppler echocardiography and 72-hour Holter monitoring to examine the relation between …

We evaluated the characteristics of left ventricular diastolic hemodynamics in hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy(HCM) by measuring left ventricular inflow (LVIF) and pulmonary venous …
