Elevated level of N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide is associated with myocardial fibrosis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients with preserved ejection fraction

Abstract: Background: Myocardial fibrosis assessed by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has been reported to be significantly correlated with cardiovascular outcomes in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients. However, data regarding non-invasive markers for detecting myocardial fibrosis were inconsistent and, not systematically evaluated in HCM patients with preserved ejection fraction (EF).Methods: In this study, 86 HCM patients with preserved EF and 33 controls were enrol… Show more
