Does papillary muscle free strain has predictive value in risk stratification of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Papillary muscle free strain has not been evaluated previously in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCMP) patients. Our aim was to evaluate free papillary muscle free strain in HCMP patients and to find whether it has a value for prediction of sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk score.

Methods

Transthoracic echocardiography with tissue Doppler imaging, 2-D speckle tracking imaging (STI) of 55 HCMP patients and 45 controls were performed. HCMP patients were further divided into two groups according to their SCD risk score. Patients with risk score of less than 6 points constituted low/intermediate risk group, whereas patients with risk score of greater or equal to 6 points constituted high risk group.

Results

Interventricular septum, posterior wall, and left ventricu
