Aortic regurgitation is common in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: An echocardiography and cardiovascular magnetic resonance study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the incidence, mechanism, and risk factors of aortic regurgitation (AR) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) by using echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).

Methods

105 HCM patients, 52 hypertension (HTN) patients and 50 healthy controls (HC) were retrospectively recruited. HCM patients were divided into 38 with AR (HCMAR) subject and 67 without AR. The subaortic complex, D1 (the largest distance of the interventricular septum that protruded into the LVOT) and D3 (the LVOT effective width) were assessed and compared between the two groups of HCM patients.

Results

AR was more common in HCM than in HTN and HC (36 %, 17 %, and 10 %, respectively, P = 0.001). HCM patients with AR were older (58 ± 11 vs. 45 ± 16 years, P
