Left Atrial Stiffness Is Increased in Pediatric Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and Offers Incremental Value in Predicting Major Adverse Cardiac Events in This Group

Background Determining risk factors by echocardiography to prevent major adverse cardiac events (MACE) is crucial in pediatric patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Recent studies have shown that left atrial (LA) stiffness may serve as surrogate marker in children, to differentiate elevated pul...
