| Core Tip |
In this study we prospectively assessed 20 patients with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in which we used speckle tracking echocardiography for measuring global longitudinal peak systolic strain in the midwall and endocardium of the left ventricle. We showed that two-dimensional strain was decreased mainly confined to the mesocardium, while endocardial deformation was preserved. This finding allowed to identify subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction. This transmural heterogeneity in systolic strain had not been previously described in HCM and could be explained by the distribution of myofibrillar disarray in deep myocardial areas. The clinical application of this novel finding may help further understanding of the pathophysiology of HCM. |
