- Abstract
Aims We sought to assess the indexes of myocardial activation delay, using Doppler myocardial imaging (DMI), as potential predictors of cardiac events in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The distribution and magnitude of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy are not uniform in patients with HCM, which results in heterogeneity of regional LV systolic function.
