Reduced echocardiographic strain is associated with ventricular arrhythmias in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate which type of histological fibrosis contributes to ventricular arrhythmias and reduced septal longitudinal strain, in obstructive HCM-patients with or without additional coronary artery disease (CAD) and/or hypertension (HT).
