Abstract

Significant correlations existed between the coefficients of variation for Tst and Tp (r = 0.80, p less than 0.01), IRT (r = 0.79, p less than 0.01), and dP/dt(20/60) (r = -0.67, p less than 0.05) in the HCM group. Thus, regional nonuniformity is closely related to the impairment of LV relaxation in HCM.
