Strain echocardiography is related to fibrosis and ventricular arrhythmias in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Abstract

GLS, mechanical dispersion, and LGE were markers of VAs in HCM patients. Mechanical dispersion was a strong independent predictor of VAs and related to the extent of fibrosis. Strain echocardiography may improve risk stratification of VAs in HCM.
