Background: Pressure-strain loop analysis is a novel echocardiographic technique to calculate myocardial work indices that has not been applied to patients with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (ApHCM). We hypothesized that myocardial work indices differ between patients with ApHCM and those with non-ApHCM. This study aimed to (1) evaluate myocardial work indices in patients with ApHCM compared with those with non-ApHCM, (2) describe associations with relevant clinical variables, and (3) examine associations with significant late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
