Abstract 4142952: Feature Tracking Global Longitudinal Strain in Long-term Risk Stratification of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy without Septal Reduction Therapy

Circulation

LV-GLS were derived from cine cardiac MRI by using feature tracking method. In the subgroup with Class 3 of recommendation for implantable cardioverter defibrillator, patients with absolute LV-GLS ≤ 9% showed significantly worse prognosis than those with absolute LV-GLS > 9% (p =.002 vs -266.2; vs -264.9; 009), respectively.

Several 200 J shocks did not terminate the VF, so a second defibrillator was applied for double sequential defibrillation with 400 J. She was defibrillated perhaps 25 times.
