Quantitative Analysis of Left Ventricular Flow Dynamics in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy using vector flow mapping: Comparison with hypertensive LV hypertrophy
Abstract:Background
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and secondary hypertensive LV hypertrophy (H-LVH) differ in pathophysiology. However, the differences and mechanisms of their blood flow fields have not been well studied. This study aimed to assess energy loss (EL), circulation, vortex area, vorticity and intraventricular velocity gradient between these two hypertrophy types.
Methods
Vector flow mapping (VFM) echocardiography was performed in 35 healthy participants, 25 HCM patients, and 24 H-LVH patients. Circu… Show more
