Characterization of Left Ventricular Diastolic Function by Tissue Doppler Imaging and Clinical Status in Children With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Abstract

Transmitral E/septal Ea ratio predicts children with HCM who are at risk of adverse clinical outcomes including death, cardiac arrest, VT, and significant cardiac symptoms. Peak VO2 correlated with peak exercise capacity in HCM patients.
