Abstract:Introduction:
Despite normal ejection fraction, nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (nHCM; rest and provoked gradients <30 mmHg) is associated with high rates of angina, arrhythmias and heart failure symptoms, as well as abnormalities of echo-based myocardial strain. Using Myocardial Work (MW) analysis, we investigated the potential mechanisms contributing to exercise-induced symptoms in nHCM.
Methods and Results:
Using validated methods (Echo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
