Primary diastolic failure is typically seen in patients with hypertensive or valvular heart
disease as well as in hypertrophic or restrictive cardiomyopathy but can also occur in a …

Inherited cardiomyopathies include hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy,
arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, left ventricular noncompaction, and …

Background—Diastolic dysfunction is a major pathophysiological abnormality in
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Doppler echocardiographic parameters correlate with …

Atrial size determined by echocardiography provides a surrogate measure of the
hemodynamic burden of cardiac disease. Linear atrial dimensions often are indexed to …

Background: Conventional Doppler indices of left ventricular diastolic function do not
correlate with symptoms or exercise capacity in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy …

Predictors of the development of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients who have hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy (HC) have not been extensively studied, although, in these patients, AF …

Diastolic and systolic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction often significantly contribute to
disabling symptoms in familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC). This study compares …

Objective: We sought to quantify left atrial longitudinal function by tissue Doppler (TDI) and
two-dimensional (2D) strain in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Design …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the fetal cardiac function in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)
pregnancies under different maternal glycemic controls. METHODS: Forty four GDM mothers …

To evaluate the prognostic role of left atrial (LA) volume in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
(HCM), LA volume was measured at baseline and during follow-up in 140 patients with …
