Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Assessing myocardial strain by cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking (FT) has been found to be useful in patients with overt hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Little is known, however, of its role in sarcomere gene mutation carriers without overt left ventricular hypertrophy (subclinical HCM). METHODS: Thirty-eight subclinical HCM subjects and 42 healthy volunteers were enrolled in this...
