Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) represents the most common genetically inherited
cardiovascular disorder and a leading cause of heart failure and sudden cardiac death …

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is defined by the presence of left ventricular
hypertrophy in the absence of other potentially causative cardiac, systemic, syndromic, or …

Background: Left atrial (LA) function is crucial for assessing left ventricular filling in various
cardiovascular conditions. Cardiac Amyloidosis (CA) is characterized by atrial myopathy and …

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited cardiac disorder,
affecting 1 out of 500 adults globally. It is a widely heterogeneous disorder characterized by …

The left atrium (LA) contributes to left ventricular (LV) filling through its conduit and pump
functions. 1 Furthermore, normal LA systolic and diastolic function is important for …

Background The relative importance of left atrial reservoir strain (LASr) regarding the Heart
