Caracterización de la deformación miocárdica en pacientes con hipertrofia ventricular izquierda de diferente etiología mediante el uso de distribuciones de strain obtenidas de imágenes de resonancia magnética

The strain distribution characterized specific patterns of myocardial deformation in patients with LVH due to different etiologies. Patients with HCM had significantly lower mean strain values and a greater heterogeneity in strain values than controls, athletes and HLVH patients. In addition, they had nondeforming regions.
