Changes in left atrial deformation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Evaluation by vector velocity imaging

Changes in left atrial deformation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Evaluation by vector velocity imaging

Objectives: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) represents a generalized myopathic process affecting both ventricular and atrial myocardium. We assessed the global and regional left atrial (LA) function and its relation to left ventricular (LV) mechanics and clinical status in patients with HCM using...
