Heart failure & cardiomyopathies
3-Dimensional Strain Analysis of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Insights From the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) International HCM Registry
Authors' conclusion
Abnormal strain in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is associated with other imaging and serum biomarkers of increased risk.

Imaging markers by GLS status
| Group | LV mass index | Maximal wall thickness | LVEF | RV EF |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abnormal GLS | 93.8 ± 29.2 g/m² | 21.7 ± 5.2 mm | 62% ± 9% | 68% ± 11% |
| Normal GLS | 75.1 ± 19.7 g/m² | 19.3 ± 4.1 mm | 66% ± 7% | 69% ± 10% |

- Abnormal GLS vs Normal GLS: P < 0.0001 — LV mass index
- Abnormal GLS vs Normal GLS: P < 0.0001 — maximal wall thickness
- Abnormal GLS vs Normal GLS: P < 0.0001 — LVEF
- Abnormal GLS vs Normal GLS: P < 0.01 — RV EF
- Lower left atrial emptying functions with abnormal GLS
- P < 0.0001 for all
- Higher presence and myocardial extent of late gadolinium enhancement with abnormal GLS (6 SD and visual quantification)
- P < 0.0001 for both
