Clinical study on the left ventricular function in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients

Objective To explore the left ventricular overall systolic and diastolic function in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients with echocardiography.Methods 30 normal people and 30 hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients were examined by routine echocardiography and examine the results of LVDd,IVSd,LVPW,LVFE and E/A.Results The results of IVSd [(16.47 ± 2.08) cm],LVPW [(10.28 ± 0.56) cm] and LVEF [(62.18 ±6.74) ％] in HCM patients were superior than control group [(9.56 ± 0.45) cm,(9.30 ± 0.98) cm,(57.66 ±5.22) ％] (t =-17.809,-4.756,-2.91,all P ＜ 0.05) while the results of LVDd [(40.28 ± 3.80) cm] and E/A[(0.99 ±0.17)] of HCM patients were obviously lower than control group [(45.15 ±3.84) cm,(1.10 ±0.24)](t =4.899,2.132,all P ＜ 0.05) and LVEF was obviously larger than control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Echocardiography can exactly evaluate left ventricular overall systolic and diastolic function in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients and guide the diagnosis and treatment.
