Global longitudinal strain and left atrial volume index improve prediction of appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients
Abstract
Accurate predictors of appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients are lacking. Both left atrial volume index (LAVI) and global longitudinal strain (GLS) have been proposed as prognostic markers in HCM patients. The specific value of LAVI and GLS to predict appropriate ICD therapy in high-risk HCM patients was studied. LAVI and 2-dimensional speckle tracking-derived GLS were …
