Introduction: The left atrium (LA) dilates and its function decreases as a chronic secondary change in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). LA strain is a more sensitive measure of LV filling pressure than LA volume and can be used to predict the functional capacity in HCM.
Objective: To analyze LA strain in patients with HCM and its correlation with exercise tolerance.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the differences in risk factors and outcomes for ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) patients under 50 years compared to those 50 and older in North India.
- Among the 5,335 patients studied, young patients attended the hospital earlier, displayed higher rates of physical inactivity and alcohol use, but had lower rates of diabetes and hypertension compared to older patients.
- Despite a higher prevalence of tobacco use, young STEMI patients experienced lower in-hospital and 30-day mortality rates, primarily due to better heart function upon admission.
Background: COVID-19 vaccines are highly immunogenic but cardiovascular effects of these vaccines have not been properly elucidated.
Objectives: To determine impact of COVID-19 vaccination on mortality following acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods: This was a single center retrospective observation study among patients with AMI enrolled in the the North India ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NORIN-STEMI) registry.
