Excerpt

Atrial function is an integral part of cardiac function that is often neglected. Previous studies have shown that the left atrium (LA) is dilated and its contractile capacity is reduced in HCM patients. Whether this is related to pathophysiological aspects of HCM such as the degree of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis or diastolic dysfunction remains to be established. …
