Background:  Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is prone to myocardial heterogeneity and fibrosis, which are the substrates of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). Cardiac magnetic resonance tissue tracking (CMR-TT) can quantitatively reflect global and regional left ventricular strain from different directions. It is uncertain whether the change of myocardial strain detected by CMR-TT is associated with VAs. The aim of the study is to explore the differential diagnostic value of VAs in HCM by CMR-TT.   Materials and Methods:  We retrospectively included 93 HCM patients (38 with VAs and 55 without VAs) and 30 healthy cases. Left ventricular function, myocardial strain parameters and percentage of late gadolinium enhancement (%LGE) were evaluated.   Results:  Global circumferential strain (GCS) and %LGE correlated moderately ( r  = 0.51,  P  < 0.001). HCM patients with VAs had lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), global radial strain (GRS), GCS, and global longitudinal strain (GLS), but increased %LGE compared with those without VAs ( P  < 0.01 for all). %LGE and GCS were indicators of VAs in HCM patients by multivariate logistic regression analysis. HCM patients with %LGE >5.35% (AUC 0.81, 95% CI 0.70–0.91,  P  < 0.001) or GCS >-14.73% (AUC 0.79, 95% CI 0.70–0.89,  P  < 0.001) on CMR more frequently had VAs. %LGE + GCS were able to better identify HCM patients with VAs (AUC 0.87, 95% CI 0.79–0.95,  P  < 0.001).   Conclusion:  GCS and %LGE were independent risk indicators of VAs in HCM. GCS is expected to be a good potential predictor in identifying HCM patients with VAs, which may provide important values to improve risk stratification in HCM in clinical practice.
