Assessment of Left Ventricular Mechanics Before And After Surgical Myectomy in Patients With Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy, Using Two-Dimension Speckle Tracking Echocardiography

Document Type : Abstracts

Abstract

Septal myectomy is the gold standard method to relieve LVOT PG in patients with HOCM.
Myocardial mechanics are abnormal in those patients, demonstrating low longitudinal strain, high circumferential
strain, and high apical rotation compared with healthy subjects. The aim of this study was to determine whether
functional improvement aftermyectomy is associated with improved myocardial mechanics.
