Evaluation of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC) in young patients is limited by lack of age-specific norms for wall thickness on cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) images. Left ventricular strain may have a role in identifying and risk stratifying patients with HC, but few data exist for strain measurement on CMR images. In 30 patients (14.1 ± 3.2 years) with clinically diagnosed HC and 24 controls (15.6 ±...
